I have a problem of over feeding hay. I usually feed free choice horse quality wheat hay.

Non tested hay. The oat hay is lower in protein , the oat hay has more energy though.

I have 7 month bred heifers that are in a separate pen for 45 days until the field my field is ready to graze. My question. I have fescue grass and oat hay. Which should I feed ? I had to pull a calf last year ( I was feeding wheat hay ), I don’t want to do it again. The grass is endophyte free...

Can someone recommend a high quality place to purchase freezer labels? Thanks

There are no feed mills within 300 miles, I can get mix 30 also.

How do calves do on lick tub? The 10% fat tub?

Can Purina Accuration be fed free choice? Or is this a bad idea ? I have some 6 week old calves and would prefer not to feed daily ( recent shoulder surgery not lazy lol ). Locally all I can get is Accuration and Precon. Thanks

I have another possible theory. I recently had a boss cow that I culled because she was beating, charging, and chasing my cows and heifers. The crazy cow that rejected the newborn calf was her biggest target. I wonder if she just didn’t learn the charging behavior from the cow that use to...

I understand your point

Can’t give her away it’s a POSS Deadwood calf she should be worth some money. I doubt I will sell her now. She runs to me every time I check on her like I am her 3rd mom. I will just use this as a perfect opportunity to teach my young children (twins 6 years olds) to raise a calf and after...

I have a Saguhatchee granddaughter that will clave in the next week. Let’s see how she does. I will be close when she does.

Ironically, the cow that is nursing both calves is the dam of the bat sh!t crazy heifer that went to the barn. It had to come from the sire side TK Driller ( Rampge generics). Maybe the Rampage docility is the culprit ?

I came home around 7pm went to check the calves, they were both laying quietly. I offered a bottle the the rejected calf. She didn’t seem interested. She got up and sprinted around the corral. I gave the cow 10 pounds of sweet feed. The injured calf got up, walked around the pen then nursed...

The special pedigree is the one that got injured, I wanted to shoot the heifer myself.

This cow was quiet. I was shocked to see her so aggressive.

She is already at the sale barn

The dam of the injured calf is letting the “rejected” calf nurse. I also caught her licking the orphan. The injured calf is also standing and nursing. The injured calf is a Scale Crusher x Resource and Blackcap May 1808 :-(

Now I need to know how much milk ? Or milk replacer ? I can only feed mornings and evenings. Which replacer is best ? I only have a TSC locally.

Yes. So far the calf has nursed 3 times. Then I put the calf with mom and watched closely. The behavior was the same.
