    Looking for ways

    I welcome it out here. People are buying these places and cutting them up into 5 acre tracts where people pile junk on. The more panels they put out here, means less junk and people. Luckily, where we live, we own all the land and will have none of it where we can see.

    Looking for ways

    We baled everything south of 271. Delilah 2 will spill over north of 271 also. Anywhere you see those H beams sticking out of the ground in the fields. There was one field north that grew absolutely nothing.. it was weird. That field on the NE corner of 271 and 410... zip, nothing, nil.

    Looking for ways

    Last storm lightning hit. I messaged the daughter who lives closest to us asking if it hit her house, she said it was more our way. Well, this is what was hit, a giant oak. She went out and found it, then a couple hours later, she found that she had a cow under it dead. Lucky there was just one...

    Looking for ways

    They are having an open house to invited people. We're going and will find out more then. We have the land around Rugby again to bale until construction gets in our way. They said roads will begin for Delilah 2 in May, thats what its called there in Rugby. Delilah 1 is on our place and area and...

    Looking for ways

    I have this saying pertaining to cows. "They walk around looking for ways to die." Today, i got picture evidence.

    What could this be??

    She's now eating and chewing her cud. SO far, she's pulling out of it.

    What could this be??

    I call them The Grim Reaper. Never good when you see them show up.

    What could this be??

    We do have horse apples, but not in this pasture. She is eating now and isnt dead. My thoughts were since the ground is bare, she may have picked up some sort of thing that sits around waiting for its moment. 2 years ago we got one with redwater, last year we had one bleed out her butt and die...

    What could this be??

    You'd think they'd mount her though. We all know what that looks like. She has a 5 mo old calf at her side.. We pulled the bulls off mid August. Today she's eating. We've hit her twice with la 200. Today she was eating at the bale of hay we have just for her. Visibly, she seems sluggish, but...

    What could this be??

    This was odd though. Hoping someone will know what kind of scent she was putting off to garner such attention. It wasnt just her herd, it was the heifers who ignored the last cow that was in with them, but went to this one and smelled all over her. She has a 5 mo old calf, who is a toot..

    What could this be??

    See, that confused me too. She is nowhere near death. Its her smell that brought them in. Now maybe its a fatal smell being put off, only time will tell if thats the case.

    What could this be??

    I guess its possible but i saw no signs of it. Buzzards were looking at her, no discharge or humping up with tail up. Usually there are some small signs of that. She's at the house so anything being eaten would be seen.... Its the licking of her face and body and the sniffing of her, not back...
  14. cowgirl8

    What could this be??

    Shes not humped. No usual visible signs that anything is wrong other than she's obviously not feeling well (still in good flesh, not thin). No i did not smell of her and she didnt seem just too hot. I dont have a thermometer, they are where the socks, measuring tapes and pencils are. One day...

    What could this be??

    Had a cow separate from the herd. Went out to look at her and see if i could tell what her problem was. She had 5 vultures sitting around her. She was not breathing heavy, her ears were up, no loose poop behind her, moved fine. Nowhere near death to summon buzzards, so that was werid.... After...

    Found cow dead

    I'm guessing calving issues due to how she was found with her legs behind her. She probably got paralyzed and could not get away from the vultures. Calf probably got bound up and pushed on a nerve. Its the way she's laying is how one ends up if they lose power to those back legs. Vultures may...

    Ever notice how cattle can get themselves into trouble?

    No.. not even any foam coming out of her mouth or nose. Her butt was protruding, but nothing weird. Only other thing beyond the blood trails down her sides, is the blood spot to the left of her a couple feet away. About the size of a dessert plate, coagulated and the same state as the blood on...

    Ever notice how cattle can get themselves into trouble?

    Someone explain the blood on this cow. She had just died, her eyes still looked alive, but she was gone. No struggle marks, so she hadnt been in this spot long. Nothing had eaten on her, she had her eyes and back end, no buzzard in sight and the herd was all around her in the same area. This...

    Lost 3 to blackleg

    Back when i was 15, i saw my first dead calf. I had just started dating my now husband. When i got to his house, they had just found a big dead steer.. My husband worked for a vet and said it was blackleg. He showed me how to feel bubbles under the skin. I still remember that like it was yesterday.
