How long after spraying Amine 400 - 24D on my pasture can I safely turn the beef cattle back on it to graze?

The cow with the corns on her hoofs died last night. When I checked the pasture this morning she was dead. We took her to NC State Vet school a couple days ago. They trimed her hoofs, took her temp, listen to her heart and sent her home. There had to be something else wrong with her. Big lost...

Hi Friends, This is an update on the cow with the corns, that dun posted a few days ago for me. We took her to NC State Vet School today and they felt that the corns were not bad enough to cause the lameness. The vet thought that the condition of her hoofs were probably the problem and trimed...

Can any of you give me a sucess rate for breeding heifers with a bull vs using AI. Using a bull? I would think would be close to 100% but I am not sure. Looking forward to your comments.

I need some advise on over seeding some land for pasture. I have 3ea. - 4 acre tracts that I want to rotate as pasture. The land has not been tilled for 10-15 years and is in North Carolina. It is in very poor condition. The present growth on it is a mix that the cattle will eat except for the...

A while back I purchase a cow at a sale that had a 30 day old heifer calf at side. It took me quite some time to get her home as the seller kept them and bred to cow for me. When we got them home, the calf had been weaned and looked awful small. Sometime, after we installed a scale and I weighed...

Hi All !!!!! Another year, another question :?: In waiting 30 days after vaccinating a heifer to breed. Do you wait 30 days to insert a CIDR or can you go ahead and start synchronization and actually AI in 30 days?

When using any of the 5-L5 vaccines such as Bovishild Gold or CattleMaster Gold the directions say to use the entire contents when first opened. Then you are supposed to buy it again in 3-4 weeks for the second vaccination. Have any of you used the same bottle for both vaccinations?

I have a 5 year old cow that is 3 months preg. She has acted sluggish for the last couple of months. Otherwise she does not seem to be sick. Eats well, drinking plenty of water and wet nose. I would say that her body condition is about a 6. She just hangs around the barn, hay rack etc. and does...

I am thinking about flushing this cow, daughter of Percision 1680, and the Scotch Cap family. Then using :dunce: this bull with her. What do you all think. I hope these pics load.

I have a good vaccination schedule that covers calves, heifers and cows, but am having trouble finding much on vaccinating bulls. Can you all give me some help here. I am wondering about wean, yearling and mature. Also what does the term "calfhood" vaccinations for heifers include. I know it...

Hey, this Forum works so good, I'll have to try it again :) We only have 4 cows at this time and detecting standing heat is hard. I raised cattle back in the 60s and they used to ride each other all the time. This time, in the past year I have not once seen the cows riding each other. The only...

We are somewhat new at having our cows AI'ed and are using a technichen recommended by a very large local breeder. When we had our first cow AI'ed he ask whether I wanted to use 1 or 2 straws. After discussing it he said that he likes to use 2 and that it gives you a better chance of taking. As...
