    Day after castration.

    Calf is still fine as of today. He is with the herd and acting normal. Still has the junk hanging down but shows signs of drying up. I got the cords with the testicles so I know its not that.

    Day after castration.

    I hope thats it. Whatever it is its pretty thick looking. We have cut a lot of calves over the years. I know this one bled pretty good right at first. Ill keep an eye on him. I was afraid i pulled his guts down or something. (not even sure if thats possible??)

    cow with mass on neck and a couple of pics

    That is exactly what one of my cows developed a couple of weeks ago. Most likely it is a hematoma. We stuck a needle in her but it was hard to get anything out. It was blood. Vet said to give her a full dose of LA200. 1/2 in the muscle and 1/2 under the skin. Said it could take up to 6...

    knot on a cow.

    Yes. Still seems normal. The knot is still there but the vet told me it could be there for up to six weeks. I got her up Monday afternoon and gave her a dosage of LA 200. Saw her this morning.

    knot on a cow.

    He didnt really say. Just that he had seen it before. With the dark blood in there it just about has to be a hematoma. My guess is she knocked it against something and ruptured a blood vessel.

    knot on a cow.

    Well I got her up and checked her out. Not an absess. It was hard. I stuck it with a needle and got some real dark, nasty blood. Im guessing a hematoma. Called the vet and he described what I have to a T. Told me to shoot her up with LA 200 and keep an eye on her. (of course I would be out...

    knot on a cow.

    Thats kind of what im thinking. If it stops raining tomorrow im going to get her up in the chute. What are some things I should check? What would the absess feel like? If it is an absess should I lance it myself or take her to the vet?

    body condition post calving

    All of my calves are right at 2 months old now. Some cows look great and some have pulled down like yours. They are all starting to put weight back on now that the grass is starting to grow. They are just about done eating hay. Yours seems pretty normal to me.

    knot on a cow.

    I noticed today that one of my cows has a round knot in the loose skin in front of her brisket. It looks like a mini basketball. I dont see any open wounds there. She is acting normal, grazing with the rest of the herd. Anything I need to check or look at, or just wait and see?

    front hoof problem

    Yea im going to keep an eye on her. I looked closer yesterday and I think both front feet may be doing the same thing. Im going to let my dad take a look in January when they come up to visit. I may try a hoof trim ONE time. She will be gone if it goes right back.

    front hoof problem

    Ive got a cow with a vertical crack in her front right hoof. It is on the outer part of the hoof. She doesnt limp when she walks but every now and then when she starts walking it looks like she limps once. The part of the hoof that is cracked has also grown in a curve at the tip. It appears...
