I had one born a few years ago that weighed about 20#. It was too short to suck. I bottle fed and helped it with mama. When it got to about 650lbs it bloated and died. I think the heart was not developed. If they do not get enough milk fat when nursing the heart does nt develop right.,

If I could get the labor to help, pour on would be much cheaper. Equipment problems has me screwed on getting rid of some cows. Ipicked up a bumper pull trailer last month to use behind my pickup and thin out the herd. Trailer had a nice rubber floor, and I though it was a good price. It...

Since I have too many catttle and too little help, I try to get mine wormed with Safeguard cubes. Last time I used them I poured waffle syrup over the cubes in the feeders to get them to eat them all. It worked. Within a day they were gone. With the drought, my beardless triticale is not...

I have a relationship with my vet. Problem is my local vet has not been able to get pennicillin for themselves for over a year. Something about not ordering a large enough quantity. My best friend was a vet and sadly died 2 months ago from a heart attack. Mysteriously 2 weeks after his covid...

Has anyone bought any Pennicillin lately. My vet told me last week they cannot get any because they don't orderbig enough quantities. The local coop said they have not had any for over a year. I found one bottle at Tractor Supply. All the vet supplys I have bought from say it is not...

I missed vaccination due to the problem of help and that covid in 2020. I paid for it this spring with pneumonia in calves. I had to treat 4 for pneumonia. I lost one during that cold snap that I had treated for pneumonia. Just FYI, my best treatment for pneumonia is Pennicillin...

An old vet who taught at OSU Vet medicine said that horses were less susceptible to prussic acid from johnson grass than cattle. I have fed a lot of johnson grass. some was even drought stressed. Haying and drying allows some to dissipate. One of the biggest problems is Silverleaf...

Sounds like a deformed gut. I knew an old time vet who would give a big dose of B complex vitamins to a poor doer as he called them. If they came out of it, it worked, if not, he said to bury them the killers did not need that meat in the hamburger... He made the dairy guys mad as hell all...

Why don't they just drop the price instead of having to screw with the damned rebates. I think it is because rebates get used only about 1/2 the time.

I have been very successful treating pinkeye with pennicillin and Draxxin. Even got the sight back in one with a complete white eye. I wash the eye well with Vetricyn eye wash. Then give 5-6cc Pennicillin in upper and in lower lid. This swells the eye shut. If available I will glue a patch...

The County Line and the Tarter are 2 different chutes. Tarter used to be the TSC chute. I have greased the pivot points on this chute and it still drags. The squeeze just does not have enough leverage to squeeze a cow and also it will not put a squeeze on a 500 lb calf. I have tried to...

I use a Pneu-Dart pump up rifle from Livestock Concepts. I use it with Draxxin. Since I am by myself, if I do have one with a snotty nose, then I can get them dosed and on the way to recovery asap. Otherwise I have to drive them at least 1/4 mile to the chute and maybe then need some help to...
