Larry what is your reason for selling yours at 14months?

Just wanted some opinions. How many would you raise a year and when would you sell them? Larry you mentioned 14months they are holsteins. I thought about 10 a year rotate them them through the youngest 2 would not be off the bottle long when the oldest 2 or so would be sold. Our field is thick...

Larry, How long do you leave the calves in this building? I am not sure I understand, do you keep these steers until it is time for them to be slaughtered? If that is what you do how long do you keep them? I have had the same 2 boys almost a year and like the other person said in TN and KY...

If you were moving bottle calves out into a small lot about 2 acres from a shelter how would you get them adjusted to being outside. There eyes seem to always run, sometime just one eye? When they are a few weeks old I let them out to play and put them up in the evening. Unless it is raining or...

well my dh put her down today, she would not eat on her own for several days and when I would tube her, her left side would swell larger and larger everyday. I would release her bloat with a needle but it would come right back. I also tried mineral oil. She fought hard and suffered too long. I...

RR Thank you again for the information. You have given me a whole lot to think about. Thank you Mogal, I will run that by my vet, I will be talking to her tomorrow.

RR I appreciate your questions, no the vet did not check for IBR or BVD. She does all sizes of animals, no she is no a cow specialist. Yes it is a hobby and I am only doing it for enjoyment and to expose our foster children to these animals hoping to teach compassion and empathy. Sometimes...

Larry do you give draxxin for 8 days sorry I dont understand. I know what you are saying about the ear infection but I am not clear how much, how often, or im, sq or topical to give the draxxin? I know with la200 you can apply it and give it as a shot not sure about draxxin.

She is a beef calf crossed. I dont know exactly you can see a picture of her on the post (same calf still subject of pneumonia) She has several other issues. If she lives she will be our little farm mascot for a long time.

The Vet said she would not put her down yet. She thinks the grinding of teeth is due to a deformity and slight paralysis on the left side of her mouth. In the picture you can see her head is tilted, it is that way all the time. Ruby belched and then started moving her teeth like chewing cud so...

If she or her mom were exposed to oxytetracycline or tetracycline I would not know I have only had her 3weeks today

http://s634.photobucket.com/albums/uu64/dgott_photos/ I dont know if this will work I uploaded a picture I just took of Ruby to photo bucket. She is up eating hay, her breathing is still labored. I also have a vet coming in the morning I will let you know what she says. Her temp is 102.6

Well Sunday after I made my update I waited 2hours and took her another 1/2 bottle of milk and she took it. Today Monday she has taken all of her milk and her temp was back down to 102.2. I let her out of her pen today and she stood for a long time. She is back in her clean pen and had her milk...

Her temp is going back up it is 103.3 her head is back down, and she only took half of her bucket of milk. Things sure change quick, it is very sad.

Yesterday her temp was 102.2 all day and this am. She took her full bucket of milk both feedings yesterday and again this am. I gave her the second dose of Tylan 200 yesterday and today is the last dose of dexamethasone. Tomorrow is the last dose of SMZ-TMP, I still give her probios after every...

She drank another whole bucket of milk and her temp is still down this morning. Thanks I will keep you posted I know we are a long way from being completely healed.

Like I said I gave those shots before lunch, tonight her temp is still 102 but she drank her whole bucket of milk for the first time since last Sat. and appears more alert. Can it help that much this quick?

I gave her all three things, Tylan 200, Bovi-Shield 5 Gold, and Dexamethasone. Her temp is 102 just now. How long will the Bovi-Shield be good for? Can I use it in 14 days if she makes it? They also said the Tylan 200 could be given again in 24 hours. Should I do that or just the one dose?

This am her temp is 103 she drank half of a bottle from a bucket. I have no problem with a bottle and the cut nipple but even when she has tried to drink from a bottle she gets choked and coughs. Will it not go into her lungs causing more of a problem? Thanks for your help I have only raised 6...

I mentioned she drank over half a bottle of milk from a bucket. What is the minimal amount of fluid you would let her take on her own before you tube her the rest?
