    More angus or simmental calf. Born to early?

    I've got good hay out 24/7 and I've been putting cubes out every day for them. I don't have any mineral out but I might try and buy some. Calf seems healthy and happy. Momma is alot easier going now. Before she would get anxious and walk around while the calf was nursing but she just stands...

    More angus or simmental calf. Born to early?

    The momma has a pretty small bag but she's been eating like crazy. I wasnt expecting her to calve for another month or so. I'm at work so I haven't been able to get any pictures of her. My wife said the calf is still moving around and curious so I'm not sweating it to much. She doesn't seem...

    More angus or simmental calf. Born to early?

    I bought a simmental/brangus heifer from a lady in town. The heifer was born 2-17-15. She is solid black with one white spec on her face. I'll try and get a picture of her this afternoon. The bull she was out of was a pure bred simmental with alot of black and white on him. My bull is a...

    dead calf... momma breaking my heart....

    Well I couldn't get a hold of the guy that had the bottle calf. She had the calf on Thursday and her bag is still really full but if i can't get a calf to put on her by tomorrow I'll just let it go. She did make a really great calf last year and has never had any issues. I just hope this was a...

    dead calf... momma breaking my heart....

    I've never grated a calf onto a cow. She's pretty tame but she wouldn't let me milk her. I have some small holding pens and a squeeze chute. I tossed the calf off in the woods so I'd be suprised if he was still there to get some skin off him to put on the new calf. My plan if i got the beef...

    dead calf... momma breaking my heart....

    I hope it's not genetic. This is her second calf and her first was the best one I had. This one would have been better his markings were picture perfect. I'm kicking myself in the button right now because I got some good heavy fertilized hay this year so I only threw out a couple bags of...

    dead calf... momma breaking my heart....

    Probably deformed. He was pretty stiff so he said he wasn't sure if the momma had pushed him trying to get him up and his leg just got stuck like that or if it was deformed.

    dead calf... momma breaking my heart....

    Well I talked to a buddy of mine thats messed with cattle his whole life and he said he'd take a look at it. He said that the hooves weren't fully developed. They were really soft. He said they should have hardened up by now. They kind of reminded me of crab meat, when he pulled on em and the...

    dead calf... momma breaking my heart....

    I had my first calf of the year today. I checked on em earlier this week and they all looked like they had a little while longer to go but we're getting close to calving. I went back there today and one cow stayed in a little oak tree patch so I figured she had calved. I fed the rest of em and...

    heifer prolapse issue.

    I went out there this morning and she was grazing. The afterbirth was still there but it had shrunk significantly. She didn't have her calf with her though so I'm guessing he's still off in the woods somewhere.

I told my wife on the way home that I was glad wed made it through all the heifers without a single issue because I was nervous about one prolapsing. When I came home and saw this all I thought was that's what I get for opening...

    heifer prolapse issue.

    My last heifer calved yesterday and everything went smoothly. All my heifers were problem free, I went out last night and she was buried off in the woods with her calve and when I went out this morning she was gone but the calf was there so I carried him to the pasture and got him to bawl so she...
