What shots,etc is being given to your cows, calves this spring? Which company's seem to have the better product?

well--What I meant & what I conveyed didn't come out correctly. The Brangus is polled.

For what it's worth: I have polledH/Red angus that yields great offsprings. I have bred these momas to Red Angus bulls for the last two seasons. This year the litle offspring bull weighed 620 @ 6 months. I am not selling off the calves but will breed to a Brangus this summer.This group is 3/4...

If I can get it figured out--I will try to post some photos of yesterday.. she was rubbing that poor tree til the bark was thinking of jumping off the tree! dominos??? we stay she's getting ready .....

Continually........ hmm very possible.. someone else had mentioned that but only that one time.

The vet has been scheduled to come next weekend, to tend to all the others--shots etc. I did not want to spend the $ for just a preg check visit--if possibly she was not pregnant @ all ( she would be on the sales block). This am her rear is swollen more..........and she is in her special calving...

All but one calved within three weeks, beginning Feb 22. This one has not had any signs until last week, when her bag had some swelling. Yesterday, the bag had increased significantly but the rear is not hot swollen or any of the traditional signs. She spent thirty minutes backed up against a...

I am sure they are exposed--I am planning on getting them in the pen and do some dusting. I am a bit concerned if I do more than dusting--i.e.. spraying a solution and spraying some of their favorite areas and hay ring --will it affect the nursing momma and mommas due any day?? :help:

I have literally been scratching my head!!! :?: This condition has gotten worse. A sweet little lady who has been raising cattle all her life--she is 85-- told me the calf has lice!. So I have oiled the rubs and put medicine in the oil/diesel. That little calf has taken to the rub---will now...

I came up on one of the calves born Feb 24--- This calf has three spots on her head that are bald! Yesterday she is ok. Is that possible that she found a scratching place that would cause this?? Have ask neighbors--just got a laugh. Should I laugh or start shopping for a hair implant?? :roll:

Thanks --you gave some good advice. In this situation, the calf had been licked clean. Also, there were many different scenarios in play that were unique to this cow. In this specific case--it worked out great the way things were handled by all concerned. Given any other situation--I agree with...

That is a pretty one!!! I have been away from the forum for awhile. Don't know how to upload my little calf---if I figure it out--I send my little one--who was born @ same time. Herefords are one pretty cow!!!!!!!!!!!!

This pm Mom & baby are very bonded. I have not been with them very much today. Maybe they needed a break. When I went out -- a few minutes ago-----27 hours since the vet & I gave her 2 pints of Colostrum. She seems very active and relatively stable leg. But Momma's bag isn't very big and I have...

Update Calf was given some dairy cow colusm, @ Vet. Hurried calf to catch pen; Momma came in a bit; Calf was very active after milk; got momma in pen; she is licking and baby is responding; both are talking to each. Other cows are gather round the pen . I hope we are out of danger. Will leave...

Same song --second verse. Last season, heifer F had a calf that would not stand.(85 lbs-vet said -the calf's muscles were under develop due to it's size) We kept trying, hoping for some success. It did not make it. Today, F gave birth, early am to a calf (60Lb). We got to it, did not delay, got...

I acquired a family of donkeys last year, a package deal. Well---the two mature Jacks --I found homes for them ASAP! Obviously not quick enough. One female just delivered a new male. She delivered a male right after I got the group. I have learned she comes into heavy heat 9 days after delivery...
