Thanks! Got a second round of treatment tomorrow, will know more hopefully. Will post what I find out

Any of you had cattle with cases of Actinomycosis (Lumpy Jaw)? I have a four year old Angus stock bull, has been diagnosed with it and is being treated. Any thoughts? I had never heard of it before this.

I'll let you know if it works, I put a few in all my tanks yesterday. I may need to add a few more. Got them (feeder Goldfish) at a local pet store, $.25 each. People at the pet store says they will get up to 8 to 10" if they live long enough. We will see...

Any of you ever put gold fish in your stock tanks? I've been told they will eat the algae and any larvae in the water. (I've been told a lot of other things as well, most of which did not turn out to be accurate) But it does seem like it ought to work. Let me know...Thanks

Question for those that use back rubs, what do you typically treat them with for fly control?

I need to buy a squeeze chute, to make handling cattle safer, for the cows and ME.Don't want to spend a fortune, but I do want a good unit. Don't have a big operation, usually keep bout 20-25 head. Most of the time I work them by my self (I'm 65), so that is a consideration also. In our area...

I certainly don't have all the answers, like you, I try to learn from people that have been doing this a lot longer than me. I got to know a former ranch manager from Oklahoma, now lives here. On weaning age, they weaned at 205 days and weighed the calf. At 205 days he wanted the calf to weigh...

Do you guys have a basic age that you typically cull a cow from your cow/calf herd, or do you use performance history to determine when it's time to cull?

What do you use on back rubs (other than a fly and or lice treatment). For example: a farmer had told me he mixes his treatment with Mineral Oil (bout $20 a gallon). Not trying to be cheap, but if something else is just as good, I'd be interested. Would like to hear ideas from others, anything...

What type fly spray do y'all use? I know some of you use ear tags and or mineral and feed treatment. Ear tags and feed treatment are not a real options for me. I used a Permethrin product last year, but we're not getting much control with it this year.

I would like to hear from any of you on this topic, I'd like to know how you handle your record keeping. As in, what records you keep, how detailed they are, if you have certain forms that you use (and if you would share those forms). I am looking for info on records you may keep on individual...

I am interested in getting some feed back on use of lick tubs. Do you use them? If so what do I need (content)? What brand? My situation, right now is very little grass, been feeding hay for a while, hay quality is not great, but OK. I have free choice loose mineral in feeders. But their choices...
