Took this picture today of Pete's hoof. Needs a trim but looks much much better.

Thanks Knersie!

Swelling is almost completely gone. Guy came out and did 2 collections on him. Said the first one was no good and the second was immature. :( :( :( :( Tech guy said it was probably due to him having the infection but should get a good collection out of him this spring. His calves are...

Took Pete a bale and got a really good look at his leg. The swelling that was going clear up to his hock has gone away. Still swollen around the pastern and between the hoof but he is able to walk around much better. Still draining a bit from the side.

We tried the drugs for bringing cows into heat and also had failure. Forget the drugs and get some heat patches and watch for them to go into heat. We have had been getting better conception by going that way. We AI our Jersey's and so far it has been 100% for them since we do it natural. The...

Swelling has done some more. Been at the fair so I got to see him yesterday. Looking better and moving around better too.

Vet made it out today. Said it is draining and the swelling has gone down quite a bit since he last saw him. Said there are 2 different holes that are draining. there is also a sore between his cleats. Pretty sure it is not foot rot. Hard to say if he got bit, stepped on a rock or got a cut...

I know the 20 is not enough. Was trying to inject him while he was jumping around. The rail road ties were placed wrong so trying to put that lead pipe behind him correctly was not possible. Figured it was better for me to walk away before I got angry and did something stupid. He is walking...

Ok got him in the alley way to the chute; he won't fit so no reason to try; got a hose with water and just started soaking and spraying that hoof. Only brush I could think of was a toilet brush, but then remembered a vehicle brush. So I scrubbed it with the vehicle brush. Had some Underwood...

Thanks, going to need it Vic. :(

Pete is in the corral! Almost got stuck once and a couple of swats with his yucky tail. Had to stop a lot to give him a break. Once he was in and we ran the heifers and cows back out he laid down to rest. i gave him what was left of a core of grass hay and he went to eating like normal. Kept...

That is what we are all thinking now. An abscess. daughter and I are going to see what we can do to get him in tomorrow night. Been helping hubby move trucks in the morning then off to my job. Different shift tomorrow so I will be home earlier. Laid awake most of last night trying to think of a...

Not sure Vic. will have to ask the vet. Said it was a long acting antibiotic. Since Pete is moving better hope they can get him in the corral and nip this in the butt. Now wondering if he got into a cactus or could be something else.

Starting to wonder if it is hoof rot or not. When I first found him the inside of his right hoof was swollen above the hoof with a large sore there. Vet treated him twice. now the infection is on the outside of his right hoof and when I checked him today same type sore but it is leaking puss in...

AllForage they had to treat him in the pasture. When we get them in from the pasture the vet is going to check him over again and the jack his leg up. when they first tried to get him in the weather had turned hot and they got him as far as they could. The vet was worried that if they continued...

Our big herd bull ,Pete, has gotten hoof rot. Vet came out and has treated him twice for it. He is healing but slowly. we really love his genetics and hate having to ship him. So I contacted a guy who does semen collection in Utah who is coming up in September so we are going to have him do a...

We were worried that the cow with the frozen teats would not be able to feed her calf really well. He got one of the frozen teats to start milking. Just going to keep them around here this summer and watch them both.

Been a rather crazy year. Only lost 1 calf, hubby figures the calf weighed 120 pounds! Out of a really good cow from 2009. weather had been really nice til last week and the snow decided to start falling. I got stuck in some really nasty mud while trying to pull a calf in the barn, got twisted...

Been pretty good here this year for us. (knocking on wood) Had a set of twins out of a 12 year old cow. Got all 3 in the barn and we are watching them closely. Going to pull the bull calf off her when my milk cow calves so I don't need to get a bum for her this year. The bull is the weaker of...

Hubby put a first year heifer in the barn early this morning with 2 front feet out. He had to pull the calf. HUGE bull calf for a first year. No BW yet. We were worried that she would prolapse. She wouldn't stop pushing and was not claiming the calf. Started making her walk around the barn, when...
