Are there any problems with feeding Bovatech feed to lactating beef cows? I guess I should say are there any problems when you stop feeding it to them? With the ionophore in the feed, I'm wondering if I will have any cocci problems when I stop. Brad

One of our local cow vets suggests vaccinating at day old. Another suggests waiting until 2 months of age to vaccinate. The reason he suggests to wait is that the maternal antibodies in a calf younger than two months will not allow the vaccine to produce immunity in the calf. The way I see...

I was told recently that cows can only utilize, at the most about 10% protein and everything over and above that goes straight out the tail pipe. It was also explained to me at the same time that the push for the extra protein was one very successful marketing ploy in the cattle business...

Does the consumption of Soy have an estrogenic effect on cattle?

What role does the birthweight of a heifer calf play into keeping her as a replacement? Does it work the same as selecting a bull with a low birth weight?

Any of you ever fed soy hull pellets? I'm trying to put some weight back on my cows that have the scouring problem. They are all heavy bred, should drop within the next month. I want to feed enough to at least keep the cows gaining some. I don't want to overfeed and cause the calf to get too...

We dewormed the cows Monday afternoon and today one of them is scouring pretty bad. Should I do anything, or is this associated with the Eprinex? The other cows look fine.

Any of you guys/gals feeding Copperhead minerals? If so, what's your opinion of them? Thanks

I'm sure it's been discussed before on the board, but I'm new here and haven't seen it. What age do you normally breed your replacement heifers? (I know that some of it varies between breeds) We run Angus cattle and breed for fall calving. We use to hold all the heifers and breed them at...

We have used a locally milled blend of minerals for the past 20 years or so with great success. I occasionally read the "tag on the bag" just to refresh my memory of what's inside. I read it yesterday and was suprised to see that this mineral supplement contains Pork meal. I'm sure the...

I have 20 PB Angus cows bred to a Polled Hereford bull. The calves should start dropping any day now. Will all the calves be Black Baldy's or will some be red? Thanks, Brad
