I was keeping him a bull because he is an ET calf out of a really good cow and bull. This just started on Friday afternoon, I do not feel it would be wise to try and castrate him while he is going through the stress of getting over this. I am keeping him and is mother separate from any cows...

He is about 4 months old and he was in a pasture with several cows we had come in heat at the same time. I know he was working overtime trying to ride everyone of them. My vet says over eating hay at this time of the year causes to much dry matter to be passed out the back end, plus the stess...

Has anyone had any experience with a bull calf having a prolapsed rectum? What did you do to fix it? thanks

What type of hay feeders have you guys found to work the best? I am currently using the round rings, but they seem to waste alot.

Thanks Larry and the others that had helpful advice. As of last night the calf will at least eat from a bottle. Seems to be doing much better. Now I just need to get him to nurse his mother on his own.

I am just milking the calfs mother and tube feeding it.

The calf is 4 days old. He was eating fine the first day and then he quit. We have been feeding him with a tube the last couple of days. The vet said he will maybe get to where the milk does not make him sick and go back to eating normally. I hope!

Has anyone heard of a calf being lactose intolerant? My vet has daignosed a calf as being this. Has anyone else treated one for this problem? Thanks.

I have found that if you will rinse and brush him while he is tied that it will calm them down quicker.

EXAR Lutton or Northern Improvement

Does anyone know somebody in the North Texas area that has recip cows that will allow you to put your eggs in them to raise? Thanks

Is there an organization where you can register a Charolais-Angus heifer? What class are they generally shown in? Thanks

I was told that cracked hooves generally are caused by a lack of mineral. I would contack your feedstore and see what they recommend. If you have a hoof guy in your area he can block the good side to relieve some of the pressure from the cracked side.

Thanks for the info. The vet just left from checking her out and it was not blackleg. I guess that is a positive outcome to an already negative day. Thanks.

Can a yearling get blackleg if it was vaccinated at weaning and also at a year of age? Thanks

This cross brings out the best of both breeds, I have around 30 females that are Angus/Limi. I have had zero problems with breeding issues with this cross, the last four heifers bred on the first AI. I find that it is generally a mineral deficiency that causes breeding issues more that any...

Actually I did, which his treatment seems to be working fine, the cow seems to be recovering. I started this post because there are others that have either posted articles or shared information that might be helpful as well. No single vet has every answer or has seen every type of sick cow...

Thanks, both articles were helpful.

I have a cow that a vet diagnosed today with antiplasmosis. Has anyone else had cattle with this? How did you treat them and what was the success rate? What were their symptoms? Thanks.

Keep doing what your doing. I have found that if you will wash them while they are in the chute several days that it really gentles them down. After a wash and dry they will usually let you walk them out and tie them somewhere without much trouble.
