We have a little bull calf -- 3 months old-- that is breathing hard to the point of panting. When he runs a little, his tongue hangs out and he is struggling to breathe. We took his temp and he is normal. Not sure what the next step is.

We had a little heifer rattlesnake bit a couple of weeks ago; it must have got her on the throat because she was also bloated. I administered banamine and an antibiotic for the bite and Therabloat for the bloat. The Therabloat didn't work so I needled her--that didn't work either. I finally...

:???: Bought some heifers averaging around 500 pounds. They came in with a temp average of 103 and so I gave them a shot of penicillin. Temp wasn't down yet a couple of days later (some were higher) so gave them all another round. Almost 10 days later the temps finally started dropping close...

We have a four-year old bull who is in good health except for a growth on the bottom of his hoof. It almost looks and feels like a big cork--except black. Epsom salt seems to alleviate some of the pain, but it is not going away. We have administered antibiotics and sulfa--seems to help a...

We had a calf born a little over a week ago. Fought a temp and administered meds -- vet thought it was pneumonia and meds seemed to work. However, the calf seems to have trouble gaining its balance when it gets up from laying down. She wobbles and has trouble getting her balance. After she...

Hi-- We need some advice. We are looking for a dog that has to be smart, good livestock dog, and great with young children. We are looking at an australian shepherd/boarder collie mix. Seems smart at 10 weeks. Does anyone know about this type of combination breed? Anything better? Thanks,

We have a heifer--will be a year old next month--discharging a white fluid (she has not been with a bull). Could it be an infection?

Have any of you used Westguard Calf Tables? How do they stack up?

We have decided to sell our 2 1/2 yr old Red Angus bull because we are now AI'ing. His EPD's are exceptional and his sire, Mission Statement, is becoming a legend in his own right.

Have a heifer that started out good--first one to bunk and fought for every kernal of grain she could get--even when she went into heat. At one point, she went into heat and she hasn't eaten good since--guess she thinks it will ruin her figure :lol: She is a feeder and is schedule to go in in 3...

I have a lowline angus that just calved a couple of days ago--(reference to my other post). Buried the fetus. Now we have new problems. She is in the process of expelling the placenta (it is hanging by a "thread"). But she will not eat or drink. Temp is 102. Ears up. Alert. Postpartum...

Wow! This is definitely a first for us. Bought what we were told was a 475 pound black heifer calf on Thursday. Scouring when we picked her up at the sale barn and then quit eating today. Was straining when we went into check on her (she is quarantined right now). Thought she was dehydrated...

I have two separate questions--First, I have a cow that has be discharging for a month -- normal? Also, is there a way besides palpitation to tell if a cow will have twins?

Calf was born last night; we milked the cow because the calf wouldn't get up. The birth was pretty noneventful. First heifer calved in about 1 1/2. Calf get under the cow in the right position but just plays with the teat. Suggestions?

Just wondering what the percentage of heifers actually have discharge prior to birthing their first calf? I have a heifer that is bagged up and vulva is very loose. She had a little discharge a week ago. Bag filled up a couple of days ago. No birth yet.

I have raised feeders but am new to the breeding part of cattle. I have a cow who is having her second calf. She has had a mucos discharge since February 25, vulva is loose, tail head raised. Is she even close?
