Thank you very much for your information. Based on what you told us, we've decided to wait for 60 days and get a blood test done on the heifer calf. This was good news for us and we're hoping that everything will work out. Again, thank you!

We purchased some animals and one of them was losing body condition. So, we had the vet pull blood on her. The results came back positive for Bovine Leukemia and Bluetongue. This cow had a heifer calf in February. Since we're trying to build up our herd, we would like to keep her heifer, if...

Thanks to all of you for your information on my question. As far as using oral Ivomectin, elk have a lot of similarities to goats, so that's most likely why the oral application was used on elk. I went ahead and used the pour-on (per label instructions!) and will research the other suggestions...

The brisket on our newly-purchased cow was larger than the rest of the herd's at delivery (Feb. '15) - since then, it keeps getting bigger. She's a pretty big girl, could this be a fat buildup, hardware disease, or a tumor of some type? Any help/suggestions is appreciated.
