    Bull or Steer?

    My daughter's show steer fof FFA is the same way. He was however Cut not Banded and we've had the vet out to check because I would swear that he had a testicle. They call him "The Buffalo Steer" because he's so bull like. The vet said that he just has a little more testoterone then the rest of...

    In California you have to buy Corrid from the Vet. They are not allowed to sell it in feed stores.

We are going to have the...

    Sick Steer

    Wow It turns out that our steer has Jared (sp) disease. Very rarely found in steer's, It's usually found in people and dogs. They say it's from tainted water so I pulled our steer off the automatic feeder and give him fresh water everyday. They put him on Probotic & A Sulfa Pill for 5 days. I...

    Sick Steer

    Thank you for the information that has been very helpful. I saw the field study and according to the weights and things we are giving him just what it calls for. I feel better after reading that. I just don't want her to lose her steer. She's put too much work into it. The vet comes out again...

    Sick Steer

    We are currently drenching them with corid and treating their water. I think we have one of them under control. I was wondering should I remove him from that pen when he's better? As I understand it this disease is in the ground and we would have to remove 6in of dirt to get rid of it. Is this...

    Well just thought that I would update you all on my daughter's Steer. He seems to be eating better but he's still not doing that much better. We are going to be drenching him with something today. I don't remember what the vet said it was but I'll keep you all updated.

    He eats 40 lbs of grain a day, 20lbs at each feeding. His feeding schedule is 6:30 am and 4:30 pm That is what he was eating when we purchased him. We have not changed the type of feed that he is eating. We feed him Champion's Choice Cattle and Grass Hay. He doesn't like the Field Hay. He eats...

    We are pretty sure now that the one steer has coccidiosis. I took their temps lastnight and they both had 103. We have taken those two steer out of our steer area and away from the other animals. I will be going out today to clean out their pens and sterilize them the best I can. We had run out...

    Sick Steer

    We bought all of our steers from the same seller and they have all be vacinated but not wormed. We were told to wait until Feb to worm but i'm beginning to think I want to do it now. He is grazing just fine in fact he loves to go out into the pasture but since we aren't sure if he's got...

    My daughter has a steer that is not eating normally. We have had Teddy since November and he usually takes off after his grain like there is no tomorrow and leaves the hay alone. Lately he has been eating the hay and not touching the grain. Is there any ideas about what might cause this? We...
