    Cow losing weight

    We've got a cow similar to this. She has been vet checked, complete work up, wormed, shots, all that we know to do, and she will not gain weight. She looks like she is starving. Don't know what else to do with her. She eats good, we even put her up by herself and fed her for a month, to no...

    Dead Cow

    Not sure what is going on....Several years ago, I'm talking maybe 15, all we ever did with our cattle was to worm them and blackleg. Never had any problems. Now we are in a program to sell our calves that requires certain health requirements. Now we use live vaccines, along with blackleg...

    Bull with ear problem

    One of our herd bulls has developed a rather large "cyst" in his ear. It is around the area of his ear tag. It is large enough that it has the ear hanging. We cut the tag out and lanced it and gave him a round of LA200. All that drained was bright blood. We have done this a second time, since...

    Sick/Depressed Cow????

    We weaned our calves last week. A couple of days later we noticed that one of the mama's was not doing well. Head down, ears drooped. She is one of our older cows, and have never had any health problems with her. She is just lying around, not eating well, and has lost weight. This is the first...

    Sick Bull

    He was vaccinated in February, not sure with what. All the bulls were worked before they were shipped from Montana. The snot is not stringy. And yes we do work all of our cattle, 2x's a year. We have not had any abortions. We had a Maine-Anjou show calf several years ago that we bought from a...

    Sick Bull

    well this bull came in from a ranch with several other bulls, from a ranch in montana, had not been to a sale barn, but he was with others from the same ranch, but they had all been worked. Did your vet say if he felt like the different climate might be a factor? And what did he work your...

    VitaFerm?

    I have used the Right Now minerals, especially during fly season, and I have been satisfied with it. The only drawback is there is not a dealer close by. Sweetlix is popular around these parts. But the kind I use for fly control has not worked too well this year. Flies have been a problem for...
