The media, as usual, as to climb on a topic and chew it up to bits before they even know what they are talking about.. operative words "may", "inconclusive".. sometimes I could slap the snot out of them. They apparently do know that this "maybe" and not "conclusive" mad cow did not make the food...

Had a bottle baby like that too.. she did not know what she was supposed to do with it. At two weeks, I pulled her out of the pasture, she was sick and not doing to well. She never really got to see anyone eating, grazing etc. I kept bottle feeding her as usual, only I diluted the milk a bit...

Had a friend that had a similar situation with a cow... she had a selenium defficiency.. took a University Vet to tell them this. when they finally figured it out.. she got over it. Might want to check on this.. is your area short on selenium..etc

Mycotil works wonders... also a shot of banamine.. that is generally what my vet tells me to do. Mycotil is a one-shot drug that can knock it out of them in hours sometimes. Contact your vet, as you generally cant by it over the counter. The banamine, which is a pain killer, helps them relax...

How long have you been bottle feeding? Where is the calves mom? DId she get colostrum? I had a calf born years ago, after 2 weeks she was nearly dead. She had suffered before I took her out of the pasture ad was having a very hard time coming back from it. I took her to the vet, where he gave...

Call the vet.. you can also give her some Calcium, phosphorous and magnesium.. it comes in a tube that looks like caulk. When a cow goes down, they loose these minerals really fast and it tends to perk them up. Does she have a temp? I read all the posts telling you to shoot her.. even if you...

Is it possible the calf was stepped on? I have lost a couple that way.. mom puts them up by the hay ring... usually the other animals pay attention to that.. but not always. As to the butt end.. buzzards would certainly do that.. and I think a coyote(s) would have dragged it off. also think the...

The link below is from the USDA.. several university's have info as well. Bottom line.. get rid of those animals... this stuff is bad bad news. I beleive you can also request printed info from this site. http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/nahps/johnes/

Dun.. that old granny must be one of those Angus with a little Longhorn blood in her.......... :shock: .. just kidding .. thought I would get a ya a little :lol:

Get a longhorn cow.. they do not tolerate coyotes or stray dogs for that matter. .. in fact they will kill them.. I have also heard that a mule in the herd can help.. I just dont have personal experience with that. I am in East Texas, and have a ton of coyotes around here, and have 5 different...

I was at a sale barn in Kentucky a few years ago.. a guy brought in a semi load of cattle.. one of them had been trampled by the others.. she was not dead tho. They drug her out of the trailer.... and left her in the path of all the other cows, where she could get trampled somemore.. then left...

Sorry about the cow dying.. bovines cannot breath when they lay flat on their sides.. it strangles them. I dont mean laying on their sides for a few minutes... they all do that.. but when they cant stay upright it will kill them. Sounds like she had pneumonia .. mycotil and banamine works quick...
