Bringing this back up. Lucky_P....Thanks for your explanation of anaplasmosis.
There is a complete herd dispersal tomorrow at a sale barn 100 miles east of me. The herd being dispersed has anaplasmosis and it is not being disclosed. Ethically-this really stinks. The potential damage being...
Yes. She has another topic titled "3 day old cow won't eat" viewtopic.php?f=7&t=112644
Hired hand, yesterday, put LA 200 in the eyes thinking it may have pink eye.
What angus9259 said. Put her in a chute and collect a fecal sample. A tablespoon in a small ziplock bag is all you need. It'll cost you around $35 for the test. Send it to K-State or where ever. Labs have the necessary information on their websites. If you ever introduce Johne's into your herd...
Lucky, Pbo8 is Piperonyl Butoxide. It's a synergist for pyrethrins or synthetic pyrethroids. Methylated crop (seed) oil is a synergist for crop chemicals used to enhance the effectiveness of the chemical against targeted weeds. I am asking about the use of methylated crop oil as a substitute for...
Last year was awful for pink eye around here. This year some are still complaining but I've had just a hand full of animals with it. I do have an older bull that had it last year and was treated for it. It cleared with no issues. He was back with the cows this summer and left them because he...
TC-- LongRange isn't labeled for fly control but it does work and it's excellent. It's really expensive. Pick your poison. I've use it for 3-4 years and had pink eye just awful last year. This year, I went minimal on everything. Cattle got the vaccines they needed but nothing else. No pinkeye...
TC-did you see the recipe someone put on here awhile back for making your own generic "ultra boss"? Credit goes to someone other than me. 1 gallon corn oil, 6.5 ozs pbo8, 6.5 ozs permethrin.
Usually fly tags will take care of ear ticks. I used Corathon tags by Bayer this year and they weren't very effective. I put a 15 gallon sprayer in my Gator with insecticide spray and I spray whenever I get the opportunity. This round I've used Pyranha fly spray and have a jug of CoRal waiting...
Pinkeye was awful last year around here. 5 empty bottles of Draxxin proved it. This year, my custom mineral was bumped to 800,000 IU of Vit A. It seems to be keeping things in check. I'll see a calf with signs of early pink eye but it doesn't go full blown. Seems to go so far then heal up. I've...
Pinkeye was awful here last year. When my accountant did my taxes, he called to see how much of the vet expense was medicine and how much was labor contributed by my veterinarian. Gotta get those 1099's filled out. Anyway, none of it was labor by my vet. I used an autogenous pinkeye vaccine but...
I'm using Dectomax pour on. 3 years ago, I used Long Range on the yearling heifers and my breed up wasn't very good. After that, I've used a pour on. Same genetics, same pasture, same bulls. 2016-I had 33 heifers, 100% bred in 30 days.
