Sounds like Johnes. Get a Fecal test for Johnes. They can get better and then next time she has a calf it comes back, eventually she wastes away. If she has Johnes she is shedding billions of the bacteria all over. Not something you want your calves exposed to.

Saw a Bull that was purchased at production sale Saturday. They brought him home and when they went to pull hair for DNA sample the tail was very tied up tight around the tip. There was White hair up inside. It allmost looked as if it were braided stuffed up and the black hair pulled around it...

I contacted Jeffers supply (where I bought them) and they credtied the whole purchase price.

I put 120 of them in and less than 1/2 are still intact. :cry2:

I used a New Insect Ear Tag this year made by Bayer. It is called Corathon. It is Blue and made out of a material called Fibere Tek. I have had very bad luck. They were put on in early May and are nearly all off now. The only part left is the back peice and the ring that they connect with. They...

Most of the pictures do not come up any more. Tried to show some Foot Rot pictures to the neighbor Newbie and most pictures are gone. Says Village Pictures. Is there a way to open them? :cry2: :cry2:

Calve is up and nursing well. Doesn't tear up the grass but is walking around well. A little slow and listless. I have seen many like this and after a couple days they come around. The 7.5" of rain the night it was born is what worried me. Wet, cold, good way to get pneumonia. That was why I hit...

The calf was up nursing this morning and this evening. I did not intervene earlier because I have seen many calfs on the smaller side with this type of behavior. Usually the mommas will tash them somewhere until they are strong enough to be up and about. He may not have gotten enough colostrum...

Had a calf born Friday morning durin a huge rain storm (7.5") We dried him off when we found them. He seemed chilled but okay. They moved a couple times Friday so we fet they were doing okay. Moved a little again Saturday and calf seemed weak. Wev had not seen him up or nursing. Eyes were...

Update: Young bulls are kicking up their heels again. Clean up Bull is getting over his limp. Very slight today and yeasterday.

Update 7 bull calves seem to have responded well. All on feed, and no more snot. Still not rambunctious though. Little bit of coughing going on. Clean up bull still lame. I think it's a sprain. May take him to a vet that has a table later in the week.

How do you get the foot up, and hold it while you "floss"? I can lift a back foot with rope tied back up behind, but the animal can still kick. How do you lift the front feet?

Or the Antibiotics can damage them also. That is why I leased the Bull from Jon. My vet says it can take up to 45 days to get good sperm. Banamine can help em feel very good for a day. But awful sore the next. Just like any NSAID. Takes the inflamation down. And a fever.

Update. Bull calves all came to the feed troughs tonight. Only 1 wasn't eating. They did not eat with the vigor they usually have but they were all eating except one. He seems to be the sickest all day. I was saved by a Rancher close by here for clean up. Jon Miller of J Bar M Gelbvieh had a...

That was my question also. The vet said to use it because it was a slow release that would last 7 days. And thought one treatment would do it. I would have used Nuflor if it was any other time of the year. I would have treated it myself without the Vet. But I wanted to get him up and back with...

Update. Brought the big bull in the cutev this morning. Lifted his hoof with a rope through the back of the chute. Got back there and cleaned the bottom, looked good there. He is able to kick very well. Foot is what is tender I believe. I tried to clean and inspect between claws but could not do...

No he did not. Our herd was tested and is BVD PI negative on all animals, including these. I test all the calves also. I do understand they can still pick up BVD. The calves ate some Bermuda hay but are still off the grain. Dicharge is much better but some are still coughing. All are still...

I agree on the viral infection. But the Antibiotics do help tremendously as they help to prevent a bacterial infection that can get into the damaged lung tissue which is caused by the viral infection. They seem to be doing better now, eating some bermuda grass hay. Not as much discharge. Less...

I did not get it off the ground and look at it. I will put him in the chute tommorrow and try and get it up where I can see it better. Did have the vet out. Thought it was Pneumonia also. Did get Vision 7 and Booster. Sept. and October Heifers of same age are in a different pasture and fine.

Last Sunday my clean up Bull came down Lame in right rear hoof. Brought him in to Vet and he thought it is Foot Rot. I also thought so as the pain is in the foot. Treated him with Exceed on Monday. Still Lame. Vet said to hit him with it again Sunday. Also wants to start on a Sulfa powder that...
