Thanks Lucky_p. It seems like risk will be low regardless since it is only 10 head and those 10 happen to be late-calvers in the first place. You stuck in the bit about heifers not being retained. What is different with those heifers you DO retain? We will have some that we wean that will be...

We vaccinated and boostered our cows pre-breeding with Preg-guard 30 days prior to Timed A.I. date. Now we are going to vaccinate calves next weekend before we wean. In the past we didn't vaccinate cows, thus had been using Cattlemaster, which is a killed vaccine. We have picked up Bovishield...

Thanks dun. I probably would have guessed but wasn't positive. We weighed our cows when we preg checked in November and again this last weekend when we wormed and were pleasantly surprise that most gained around 1/2lb per day on a limited silage/ground hay ration. Some of our younger cows...

Here is a link with infor on Nervous Coccidiosis. Seems like it is a condition that exists in addition to coccidiosis and the calf definately does not have scours. Seems like what I have found on the web has led me to think its sulfur toxicity. We just started including DDG into our rations last...

Noticed a steer (approx. 6-700lb) last night at feeding time who was away from the bunks. Watched him for a while and he acted nervous, pacing and then laying down somewhat awkwardly and then getting back up. Walked a little uncordinated at times and at times looked like he didn't have a good...
