Thanks guys, will let them know :D

Folks are thinking about trying this stuff out to try and combat our pink eye problem this year, anyone have any experience with these vaccines? Do they help? Here is an example of one of the vaccines, thanks.

I wouldnt let them drop under a 5, and the cows that are getting ready to calve or just calved are the ones that need the highest nutrition.

Droopy ears usually means ear infection, we use NuFlor or Draxxin to cure that but I am not real sure for pregnant cattle.

Last year in our feedlot the avg from time came in (some right off moms/grass and some backgrounded) was 7.31lbs of feed/1lb of gain, hope that helps

Protein blocks

Late gestation and early lactation are the times were the greatest needs of minerals, protein, and energy have to be fed.

Yeah I wouldnt be using a finisher on heifers, just possibly a light COB mix or no grain at all like was mentioned. We grain our show heifers but replacement commercial heifers get haylage and thats it.

Its better to be cold and dry then cold and wet, they seem to do fine when its cold and dry and they eat like crazy!

I agree, if they would have charged us full price would have probably put it down, but we work with the vet school here on campus, they cut us really good deals, gets the 3/4yr vets experience....charged us $125 :cboy:

I was thinking about this the other day, I would almost think that it would be less stress on the bull if you cut him rather then band him that old. My thinking is yes its stressful that first day, and maybe the week afterwards but then its done, rather then that bull having a band pinch him...

Been a heckava week let me tell you, when it rains it rains hard :shock: So we had this calf twitching his tail and kickin' at his belly, new somthing was up. Ended up hauling him over to the vet school, the chunk of kidney stone or whatever was to big and he couldnt urinate. 5 days later we...

I agree, we use NuFlor and Draxxin

Yea they go fast, the vet said their is a 1-2 day window when you can nail the pneumonia, after that not much can do and if they dont show any signs those days then I dont know.

I know the tetras dont work, almost imediatly afterwards I followed up with a shot of Draxxin/Banamine then yesturday hit him with NuFlor/Banamine, to late by then I guess. I know loose a few but its still tough, weather here has sucked, one day it was zero degrees then 4 days later its up in...

Sadly this morning lost another calf that weighed in at 800lbs. I started to doctor him with tetracyclings about a month ago, but after looking at the lung adhesion to the rib cage it looks like its been going on for a while. What is killing me is I dont know if this is my fault. There are...

Thats ring worm, I have a calf that has an eye just like that and all that down his backline. You can rub iodine in it and try other antifungal things. I gave that calf and the other 5 calves that are with it vitamin A & D shots but it didnt help, that was the only thing I can think of, just...

Been using NuFlor and Draxxin for the serious calves, either has worked good and if one doesnt work I use the other, hasnt failed yet!

Either it rubbed the hair off or its ringworm

If its a show heifer just cut them off as close to the skin as you can, if not I wouldnt worry bout em
