    Inforce 3

    2019 spring calving season, I gave every newborn a dose of Inforce3. I had one dose blown back in my face. As for my immunity, I'm not sure I have much but when it comes to my calves, I'll use Inforce3 again. I had outstanding results. Our spring was wet and cold. I never had one sick calf.

    Inforce 3

    Ron said he bought Inforce3 from Jeffers for $43.69- 25 single dose. I checked their site and it's $62.09 for 25 single dose. Maybe it's gone up since he bought last, idk. That's a big price difference. I put 10 boxes in my cart to see if there was a price break for buying more. There isn't. 1...

    Johne's?

    My first case, we blood tested. But she was full blown and Stevie Wonder could diagnose her problem. From that point on, I did fecal PCR sampling as it detects the DNA of the MAP bacteria. I pooled samples at a 4-1 ratio. The lab recommended the ratio. It's a worry, for sure. And, an added...

    Anecdotal Pinkeye Experience

    I thought LA 200 & 300 were to become prescription drugs at the beginning of 2020. This does seem to be a co-inky-dink, suddenly the bottles aren't sterilized adequately and poof it's all gone and will be for quite some time. Like maybe till after Jan 1?

    Thanks Kenny. Valley Vet shows it on back order with a notification of when it's back in stock.

    Anecdotal Pinkeye Experience

    Anybody else having trouble finding LA 300? Local animal health supplier said the FDA shut the plant down for not sanitizing bottles before bottling the antibiotic. No one knows when LA 300 will be available again. Great timing, right?

    TexasBred, what's your advice on this mineral?

    I use a custom mineral from a local feed mill. My cows are barely touching it but they are salt crazy. I'm keeping mineral available so if things change it'll be there for them. Our weather has been so wet that I believe the grass is different and they don't want mineral. We're drying off and...

    Calf Reaction to IM Penicillin Injection

    You shouldn't give any vaccinations anywhere but within a triangle area on the neck. You may have hit a nerve in his hindquarters. I give injections SQ in the neck area and massage the area immediately to avoid the possibility of a lump. I'll let others comment on whether to give penicillin...

    Johne's?

    Mine came to me with a registered heifer bought at a production sale. When she was 5 she tested positive. I sold her and her calf at side but she had a daughter that I kept to breed. That daughter, after calving, tested positive. I sure shot myself in the foot by not eliminating that entire...

    Johne's?

    Thank, CC. Wine, party of 2! Actually, for what l've spent on testing and what your friend is going to spend, some whine (see what I did there) is justified. No. I don't need a glass. I'll take the bottle and go sit in a corner. The only lingering effect she'll have from this is total...

    Johne's?

    I think the conversation hadn't reached the point of discussing how to proceed on testing the herd. When I tested, it was pooled samples, 4 to 1, PCR. Clean gloves for each animal, red top test tubes, cows in-herd I. D. tag number on each tube, a teaspoon of manure per animal. I used a lab out...

    Johne's?

    TC-please let us know how this turns out. And tell your friend it'll be ok. It doesn't feel like it right now, but it will be.

    Johne's?

    She needs to make sure all calves that were in the pasture with this bull are sold. Don't keep even one heifer calf. That will be a start on controlling. Hopefully her vet can help her through this. Mine wasn't interested.

    Johne's?

    Sorry the bull turned out to be positive. Valley Vet sells a powder called Virkon. I used it after my cow tested positive. I sprayed the pen after I scraped it. Also, if she scrapes her pen she has to be very careful where she dumps the dirt. I was told to dig a hole in an area where the water...

    Johne's?

    The manure from a Johne's positive animal has a sickly sweet smell. Once you've smelled it, you won't forget it. If an animal is actively shedding, a blood test will confirm quickly. Fecal samples can be done on younger animals to detect the presence of the bacteria before they become...

    Steers not shedding

    Yes. Mostly blacks. Their hair coat has the appearance of a rusted Brillo pad. Reddish, dry, rough. There are 85 on 320 acres. 3 ponds, one fresh water well source and trees scattered throughout. Free choice mineral & salt. TC-we've been cool up till maybe a week ago or so. Just like you. The...

    Steers not shedding

    Thanks snoopdog. That was my concern. Them looking rough in the sale ring. It'll be awhile before they're sold so they still have time. Our weather has been so goofy that may be part of it. I'm too far west for fescue, BR. I'm on the western edge of Kansas' tall grass prairie and the eastern...
