Frost bite makes sense, we had some pretty cold days recently. In person it does look just like that, necrotic tissue.

3yo bull. I don't know how long these lesions have been present. Slightly swollen around margins. Appears to be a drop of pus on one of the lesions. About the size of a quarter. Thoughts? Spider bites? Actions? Thanks.

Calf is a week old. Looked fine two days ago. Appears raw and slightly bloody. Calf is fine otherwise. Lesions are around both eyes, between the ears and one spot on top of the head.

Beginning to look like alfalfa may be the choice. I was hoping for something a little more economical. TB, thanks for pointing out the corn gluten. I think that alone will make the choice for me on Roughage Buster.

Thanks guys. Our primary concern is to avoid products that contain grain. We market grassfed/finished beef. Our secondary concern is to avoid GMO/pesticide sprayed products. Our customers are pretty savvy and do quiz us on things like this.

Does anybody use Roughage Buster as a protein supplement when feeding hay? Thoughts?

Thanks guys, greybeard, I hate to send him to the salebarn, I tend to want to fix everything and he is not big enough yet for freezer camp. Jerry, How generously would I apply the coppertox?

I purchased some weaned steers last fall including one that had been recently dehorned. The dehorn(vet performed) was very deep and the owner said that one had been infested with flies but that he had killed them with a pyrehtrin spray. The hole in the stumps was about the size of your little...

Well, I took a few days off to go treat the calves. Set up a pen and used (for the first time) a calf squeeze. I missed the first one through, but got the rest. Amazing how they don't show a lot of interest in moving ahead and the LEAP for the exit. The hardest part was getting the calves in...

Unfortunately, I have to manage this from a couple of hours away. I have a guy onsite every day. A fecal sample from the calf with the worst diarrhea showed more oocysts than you would care to count on a Mcmaster slide. I checked that particular calf and three cows that had looser stools than I...

Easiest way to treat 15 nursing calves using Corid? 2 of the 15 show clinical signs (poopy butt with no other symptoms), but the vet recommended treating all of them. Opinions on that? These are rotated daily. They are relatively tame. The herd is about 3/4 mile from my pens right now. I would...

I'll get things going with pinkeye treatment. Now, where is that old pair of jeans? :) Thanks guys.

I did. Does this look like pinkeye? I have only treated one case and it didn't look like this.

This is 7 day duration. White spot may be slightly larger. Mechanical irritation? Treatment?

Thanks. They are on free choice minerals. I will check them tomorrow and see how things are looking...and read up on hoof rot.

This is the third cow that has had this issue. The first two (they occurred at the same time), I explained as a sprain from stepping in an armadillo hole. Both had a big limp and resolved themselves within a week. On closer inspection of this one, I see the redness. The others had the same...
