You'll love those muck boots. They are all I wear when I'm not in the office. I would wear them to the office, but everyone would complain about the odor. JB

Have a lot of yall had trouble with foot rot this year? I've been expecting it to crop up as wet as it has stayed, but the cows are weathering it pretty well. JB

I feed my cows about 20lbs per day on average and 2-3 lbs of supplement. They all stay fat and happy. JB

She does transmit. That is why I am interested in the ET. Her calves are exceptionally growthy and have her 'good' looks. I would use 10 or so head out of my own herd as recipient cows. I don't know of any local techs, but I'll call the local AI guy and ask some of the guys at the farm...

I have a non registered brangus cow that is structurally one of the best I've ever seen. She is almost too easy a keeper and milks like a guernsey. I would like to have more cows with her genetics in them. Any of yall ever considered embryo transplant on a non registered animal or is the...

You are right Texan. I didn't pay attention. She still had her legs under her through the ordeal.

I had this happen to a cow last spring. She stayed on the ground for about eight days and finally came out of it. The first couple of days I rolled her side to side a couple of times a day. Then I started grabbing her tailhead and helping her balance out and walk. Then one day she came over...

I like spam too, but would rather have some good holly bologna. Do y'all have holly bologna available in your neck of the woods? JB

Texan, I was only posting the article as the AP reported it. The link will carry you to the USDA site where it is made known that it is a inconclusive test. I think that most everyone here will realize that it is another inconclusive test and for all us cattlemen and women out here it is just...

Washington (AP) - A second case of mad cow disease (news) may have turned up in the United States, Agriculture (website/news) Department officials said Thursday. The officials released few details, saying it would be four to seven days before the possible case could be confirmed. Mad cow...

I wouldn't worry too much about fattening her up for winter. Our temperatures are mild enough in Arkansas that she will make it through. JB

rt The next time you go to feed her, pick up on her tailhead and let her do all the standing she can on her on. She may even walk a ways with you maintaining her balance. It takes as much muscular strength to maintain balance as it does to provide motor function and walking one is a lot...

Well, the steer didn't make it. You can't save them all, but it was worth a shot. I've never seen one get as sick as he was yesterday afternoon. You learn a lesson everyday. Thanks everyone for your help. JB

Yes. He is the one who convinced me to use Nuflor instead of LA200 in this case. He agreed with the B12 and Banamine, but I figured he should have an appetite again by this morning. I'm just afraid that he has became too weak and needs some energy too work with now. JB

The steer acted a little better this morning, but still won't eat. What is this blue lite? I've never heard of it. I may need to tube him, he's getting very weak, but I've never had to tube one before. Any suggestions on what to give him or any alternate ideas? Thanks

I gave him a shot of LA200 yesterday morning and I'm going to follow it up this afternoon with nuflor, bantamine, and B-12. If he doesn't respond I may try the micotil. I've never used it before and am always open to new and improved ideas. In my locale I don't have a lot of cattlemen to...

I have a newly weaned steer calve that appears to have pnemonia. Mucus discharge from mouth, loss of appetite, head hanging low, real lethargic.....etc. What do ya'll guys do in this situation? He's drinking plenty of water. JB

Low pressure always seems to do it for me and it may just be coincidence, but a full moon seems to do it too. JB

What symptoms did your cows exhibit upon being bit?

I have a cow that appears to be snake bit. Is there any kind of procedure I need to go through or should I just wait it out? I've never had a snake bite victim before, but I figured it would happen sooner or later. I guess it was time.
