I found my answer.

You are getting a cross with always helps. I would say go for it. You might just get a great replacement heifer.

About $20 using Air Gas. However, you have to have an account with them or they will charge you for medical grade.

Do you know where your going to get your nitrogen from? We get ours from a welding shop.

Our highest priced calf...around 5k was a tiny bull calf. I kept him with plans of steering him and taking him to schools to teach kids about cattle. His mom was a show heifer and we took him to a major livestock show. He quickly sold to a lowline cattle breeder that hoped he had a mutated...

Sorry to hear this. I wish I could be more help, but I don't have a clue. He he were mine, I would be back on the phone with the vet. Call a teaching vet hospital and ask them what they think. When we had sick calves, they were treated with small amounts over a week. Banamine (sp) for fever...

Took a week, but she finally figured it out. Thank Goodness for that.

We have pulled ours off for the show and let her back with her mom when we got back. She did bawl, but she did eat. Can you take a nurse cow to the show? If you can, take them both, but only show the bull. As far as weaning, it takes a 2 to 3 weeks for them to look good.

I wouldn't. If the cow allows, I would help it nurse. If not milk the cow out and bottle feed the baby.

Hmmmm....I will check when I help her tonight.

It can't grab a hold of the teat. Combination of it being stupid and mom's teats a little larger than normal. Past calves haven't had an issue. However, if you place it in it's mouth it will suck. Without help, it only head butts the bag and doesn't draw the teat into her mouth. It did get...

This calf had a very traumatic birth. However, the calf can't grab a hold of the teats to nurse. Cow is awesome in that we can walk up to in the the pasture and help the calf. So basically, this is like having a bottle calf. If we only do this twice a day, will this be enough for the calf...

We have a 1st time heifer that has a bloody discharge. She began thus last week. The earliest she could be due is 2/14. Should I worried? Last week blood only. This week bloody mucous.

I have a youtube video that runs through the process once the feet show. You can check it out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63rgE-Rk2GQ

Fall calving season is over. 100% bulls. Darn it. However, one looks really good.

Wow- You're so right. They are all tight in the heartgirth. Here good Simbrah semen is hard to get. They make you buy more semen than you need or force you to buy cattle from them to get the semen. I think this philosophy has really hurt the Simbrah breed. Hince, why we are breeding our ours...

We are in the process of breeding up our Simbrahs. Some are 3/4 and some are purebred. Any suggestions on what we need to look for when we breed the dams back next year. Already rebred this year. Simbrah Bull (September 2010) 3/4 Simmental 1/4 Brahman (December 2010) 3/4 Simmental 1/4...

If I bred this calve to a purebred simmental, what would the calve's % be?

Thanks!

Dam: Simbrah 5/8 Simmental 3/8 Brahman Sire: Brangus 5/8 Angus 3/8 Brahman What is calve's percentage? I figure the calf is still 3/8 Brahman, 1/4 Angus, 1/4 Simmental and 1/8 of something else? I know my math is wrong. You can't have 1/8 of something else. Help! I just can't figure it out.
