    Mineral Cost

    About a month ago we went to a Cargill sponsored free meal, and the speaker said the BASF plant in Germany, that made vitamin A and E had burned and they were the only source. I was feeding their cheap brand of Cattle Grazer minreral, but his speech convinced me to go back to "Right Now" Still...

    Poor cow

    It would seem like if grain hurt her teeth, throat or mouth then hay would also. Right???

    Poor cow

    I need to find some extra high quality hay... Probably can't, since last falls drought wiped hay supplies and you can't even find bad hay. Fortunately I put up enought to make it, barely.

    Poor cow

    I'm not trying to give you a hard time here, not trying to be a smart alec. While you had her up in the corral, on Saturday, why didn't you leave her there for a few days, long enough to get the vet out, the one who is willing to come out? Since the cow has no been seen by a vet, and there is...

    Poor cow

    I have a corral with a working chute and a Priefert head catch. I've owned cattle for most of my 60 years. Long time ago figured out had to have facilities to handle cattle especially since I'm a one man operation. Getting a vet out is next to impossible around here. New young vet moved in and...

    Poor cow

    The reason it took me so long to do anything is i can't do anything with her most of the time. She is not a pet, but she is not afraid either. Not going to beat on her. She just goes in a circle when I try to get her in corral. Won't follow feed bucket either. I just lucked out Saturday. She...

    Poor cow

    Saturday I managed to get her back in corral, gave her 24cc la300, 12 cc banamine, 24cc nuflor and a magnet. Put her in pasture by herself. Fescue and clover starting to grow, all she wants to eat is hay. Been putting out 1\3 mix feed and she hardly eats any. Today bought bag of sweet feed she...

    Poor cow

    Had to order magnet. She wouldn't eat grain at all after I gave her the shots and tried to get her to eat safegard mixed with feed. Wouldn't even touch just the feed. Still eating hay. Think I made her mad. Soaked her with cydectin Thursday and she was ready to eat grain again.

    ear tags suck

    Sky already mentioned it , but a long time ago i didn't do a thorough job of cutting strings off hay. Lost a bunch of tags. Someone told me always remove all twine. Started that and almost never lose a tag.

    Poor cow

    First thing I thought of was johnnes, and ruled it out because of completely normal manure. She has never had the runs and poor appetite. Had a relative that had a cow with johnnes. Never ending eating

    Poor cow

    Bird dog, I wish I had done that a month ago, now she so poor i might be better off to shoot. Most of my cows are on the plump side, so isn't neglect, I just should have moved on earlier.

    Poor cow

    Poor cow

    Hardware crossed my mind, but I thought they kicked at belly. She doesn't really act like she trying to lick, just more swinging.. I not arguing with you at all, just no experience with hardware. She just acts weird overall. I will try magnet and probiotics. Willing to try about anything...

    Several years ago I lost a reg. Brangus bull to a cherry tree, Had a windstorm and split a tree. Found him dead in the field. Thought he had been hit by lightning, then found the tree, his were the only tracks in the mud, I guess the cows were smarter. It was spring and there was lots of...
