    Another new experience - non-dilating cervix? advice?

    We have had once case of what you are describing. We re bred the cow, and her next calf came as easy as anything, in fact, there is a picture of the calf on the Show Board, it's one of the newer posts. I would give the cow another shot if she's one of the better ones. If she was on the short...

    Why

    Okay, I see what you guys are saying. Sure, you're going to get rid of the cows that aren't producing..but that's common sense right? We only have 15 cows that calve. But, this is how I make my money for the year (I'm only 18 ). This means that I want the best possible calves to make the...

    Inexperience at its finest...(update)I'm getting better!

    I'm glad that you got through that whole ordeal in one piece!! I remember the first time I had to pull a calf by myself. I was 12 or 13. Dad wasn't home, he was visiting grandma in town. We had a heifer that was in light labor when dad left. Well, dad told me to check her every hour that he...

    Average Time Update

    If it is a Selenium problem, we give 4 cc of BOSE. We give it to all of our lethargic calves, and it really makes a difference. It's like a jump-start for them. I hope that it's not Navel Ill..that stuff can be nasty. Pen. is the only thing that I know of that can clear it up. And like dun...

    So, color is the main thing that brings the breed down right? Also I know that they are mostly for novelty. What if I crossed them with my Shorthorns? I should get a Shorthorn-marked calf, right? And around here, our Shorthorns outsell 90% of the black or hereford-looking calves across the...

    Could someone please educate me about these cattle? They look like Shorthorns with funny markings. I know that they aren't but it's the closest thing I could associate them with. From what I've seen in pictures, they milk really well...are they or were they a dual purpose breed? Do they cross...
