    Castrating calves alone?

    If they're just young I tie them, with a piggin' string-then they are pretty much yours to what u want with.

    Please Help

    For the cost of treatment you'd think warbles would be almost obsolete-I haven't seen a grub lump since I was a kid

    Have to many feet problems

    Heaven forbid it could be genetic-I've seen some pretty well used Angus bulls that have feet and legs would of got them passed at a range bull sale. There's herds of several hundred head up in our country with minimal foot troubles that only feed blue salt no mineral at all.

    funny looking hooves-need info

    Those weak pasterns might have alot to do with the long toes-DON"T BUY THEM. Plenty of decent footed cattle around I can't imagine even offering feet like that as breeding stock.

    ? for banding people

    It's alot easier to get a knife and learn how to use it. Feedlots absolutely hate banded calves-while they work good if used right they can cause a real mess if not-one afternoon spent trying to cut stags that were done wrong will convince you of that. The worst deal I saw was this poor guy who...

    Every clinic has them back ordered-I guess the the dairy guys are getting kind of worked up if the can't find any.

    As far as I know they release rumensin slowly-I'm going to lose a couple A'I projects unless my customers can find some.

We hads to tranq a rotten old Gelbvieh cow yesterday-we had bred her with the rodeo cows because of her attitude-sure enough my first malpresentation in 15 years and it had to be her. I was just going to shoot her but my vet talked me into tranqing...

    Are there any available down stateside-there doesn't seem to be any up here. I'm going to Montana next week so I could get some sent there if anybody knows where there are some.

    Has anyone ever tranquilized a cow for anything?

    We tranqued a Brahma cross rodeo heifer to pull her calf-it was intertesting to say the least-where she was calving she'd of fenced before I got her roped.

    Microtel not working on Susie's pneumonia

    Micotil is pretty dangerrous stuff to use if you accidentally inject yourself-it does happen. I've heard good things about Draxxin but not sure if you can use it on that small a calf.

    Persistant BVD

    Might be cryptospiridium-if it was BVD he would of been shot before the vet got out of the yard. I honestly feel BVD cost the Canadian cattleman more money than the whole BSE deal. BSE caused us to gush equity but BVD just lets money leak away every day it's not dealt with.
