    characteristics

    I will have to agree with what everyone else has said already. If a person is a real friend to you. You don't have to ask for help. They just show up and help. No matter what. My biggest problem is I trust everyone that comes along. Rick has a big problem with that. I know things are...

    My Day Yesterday

    First of all, Happy Belated Birthday. Glad your dog is going to be ok. I don't know why cows do that. The least little thing sets them off. Especially when their surroundings are familiar. We stand there and fuss at them. What is your problem. Who knows maybe they thought the dog was going to...

    My sad story.

    I hate hearing that. Sometimes things just don't work out. As far as starting over you can do it. I don't know if I could have given up all of my cows though. That would be the worst thing for me. I could survive without the old man. It would be alot less work on me. No cooking ,washing his...

    sale barn

    That doesn't sound all that bad bigbull. We don't cut all of our bull calves. Like you there is not that much diffence in the price. It makes things alot easier for the feedlots. Since they don't want to pay all that much for them. Let them do it.

    Deformed and blind calf

    I agree I wouldn't worry about using your bull. This is just a freak of nature. Did you take any pictures of the calf ? If you can try to post a couple. Have you called you vet ? Ask if there is a reason he/she can give for this happening.

    Deformed and blind calf

    Rusty did you check the roof of the calves mouth ? I was first thinking maybe cleft palate. It causes the protusion of the lower jaw. I also found this picture of a cyclops. Notice the lower jaw of this animal. Kind of sounds like yours.

    Seriously considering thoes good deals.

    Aw ,sorry to hear that. But sometimes those great deals are worthless. It is probably best to ship her. I know a couple of years ago we had a heifer . She had a real hard labor and delivered a 126 lb bull calf. She stayed down about 3 days,before she got up.She wouldn't touch that calf for...

    Deformed calf

    Sorry for your loss Novaman. I don't know something like that would freak me out. The condition is called Achondroplasic (bulldog calf). It's a gene that causes this.

    how can I do with this

    I've seen a bull or 2 come thru the sale barns that have looked like that.I asked Rick to look at this and see what he thought. He said he has seen it before. He said that bull got some sort of thorn or burr in his penis ,that has caused a major infection. Nothing you can do for him though.
