This cow is 12. She has two lumps from Covaxin 8. One she has had for more than 5 years. Ours blew up this year also, vet said covaxin will do that and suggested we use UltraBac 7 instead, less reactive. We will use that from now on.

I'd just watch it. Is this is the steer you paid a hundred for? His head looks big, like he is older than his body tells you he is. But it might just be the camera angle. What are you plans for him?

Mine do the same, and I have reported my official results here numerous times. We will push it this year, with a late May steer we are putting in the carcass contest for a process date of late June, so 13 months old. He should hit 1200, hoping for 1300.

Your right! I wonder if that is just in the Heat, or all of it now? I can not find a tab for the regular conceptaide. I know that WAS (and maybe still is) salt free.

Ditto what elkwc said. Heat in the summer and normal conceptaide in the winter. Our cost is about $30 a bag, HOWEVER, there is NO SALT in it. You have to put out loose salt. They consume less because they are not eating it for the salt intake.

I guess I was not clear, sorry. I meant to explain to the OP that the toxin is ALSO in the plant (the leaf sheath, between the cells to be specific) and NOT just the seed heads. As the plant produces seed, the ergovaline moves into the seed, and is more concentrated. Our extension recommends...

We have started to wean with nose blabs. I have yet to have a calf be able to nurse once it is put in. We leave it in for a week, then remove the calves from the pen and you hardly hear a squeek out of them. I bet you could leave the nose blab in until he was butchered. These are the ones we...

The fungus is in the plant also, not just the seed heads. You can tell if the seed heads are infected when some of them on the stalk look like mouse poop. Endophyte is more concentrated in the leaves. There is nothing out there to help cows overcome it except dilution! Our fields have orchard...

I have a nice 9 year old half angus- half simmental cow (BC Lookout) that is taking a ride this year. She has had several AI calves, but I mostly use her for a recip. She always stuck the first embryo, and looked good raising a calf. Last year she got real thin raising her calf, and I had the...

25% protein. Here is a link to the sheet: https://www.purinamills.com/BusinessLin ... f?ext=.pdf

We are feeding those this year, the high fat ones. Our hay is junk (drought year, horrible hay), 7% protein. The cows are consuming, on average, about 2 pounds a day. Cows look good, not losing weight even though they are early in lactation right now (Sept to Dec calves). They run $67/200...

We too give Inforce 3, and I treated 14 of 16 calves on Sunday for respiratory. Resflor Gold works wonders! I treated another one yesterday, 105.6 temp!!! Our weather goes from 15 to 60 in 24 hours, it is super hard on the calves!!!

This calf turned out just fine. He was twin to a heifer, and both were contracted, and both ended up normal after a few weeks https://youtu.be/UpnH-dnqBh8 Two treatments of IV Oxy helped him out a bunch!

Yes, they have lose salt. The problem with putting out rock (or anything) is that the creeks run hard several times a year. We have to replace water gaps at least once a year, so the rock would just wash away. We put in a culvert once, but it washed away the same year. Something more permanent...

Here is a really good article about it, how it happens and how to treat it. http://cdrf.org/wp-content/uploads/2012 ... e-Line.pdf

OK, hoof trimmer came out today, and thankfully hubby took some pics for me. My cattle have White Line Disease, due to the change in the ground so quickly from the very dry and hot to the sudden moisture from rains (which, we are dry again!). Sole becomes soft, and easily injured by rocks...

Well, the vet suggested LA300, so that is what we gave. I bet when the trimmer puts her on the table, he will have me give her a MEGA dose of penicillin. He has been doing feet on cattle for 30 years, and does mostly dairy cattle. He is booked months in advance. He knows his stuff. He swears...

Here is a picture of one of the worst ones we have. She still gets around, albeit tenderly. The picture is turned sideways, because it was uploaded from my phone. You see her dewclaw, then in the hairline the open sore (abscess that burst), then her heal. This picture actually turned upside...

We are having abnormally high lameness also. The cows become lame on one of the rear legs, and hobble around for a few weeks. It later erupts from the hairline, and a big sore opens. I am waiting to hear back from my hoof trimmer, to get it opened and cleaned out. I think it is from the dry...
