    Help help scours

    (y)(y) Agreed although not sure we have that product here, we have provita protect (not available in shops annoyingly) which I've been using for the past few years at birth and it pretty much eliminated scours for a few years I just forgot to order some for this years calving season, but after...

    Help help scours

    Ah yes. Snapfish it is then, not used such services much. £6.99 for a 18 x 12" print. That'll do. Gloss or matt finish? Whatever. Will probably get some comments from those working at snapfish, something a bit different, could make a lovely secret santa present :LOL: :poop::ROFLMAO: tar tar

    Help help scours

    Where can I get a physical poster of this so I can stick it up beside the beef shed? Would be helpful both for myself and especially when I'm away on holiday so others can see it.

    Help help scours

    The scours is literally yellow water and not bottle caves no and no sign of blood. Calf is 3 and a half days old. I've been off for a week so just come back to this so things haven't been done exactly how I normally do them, haven't had scours like this for a couple of years. I guess the colour...

    Help help scours

    I've got a couple of scouring calves and was just wondering the best solution was I have electrolytes which I always administer but I have some draxxin and hexasol la, just wondering if hexasol la was ok to use its active ingrdient is mostly what murray said.

    Pink eye

    If we are talking injuries sustained whilst treating pinkeye about 3 weeks ago this old crush' door sprang open when a yearling (without its head caught) was trying to jump through the front of the crush when somehow the door sprang open and smacked me in the side of the head near the front as I...

    Grass clippings

    Because its sweeter I assumed. But if I was a cow I would go for haylage over hay or silage, I don't know about other parts of the world but some of our haylage bales once unwrapped smell divine like slightly cooked sweet butterscotch candy or something and the colouring reflects that too...

    Nuflor and the Vet

    I'll ask the vet I was just under the impression pinkeye vaccines weren't all that effective. I'm begining to think nothing prevents it and I think clearing areas of flies is bonkers and impractical. The only thing we haven't tried is vaccines and the fly repellent ear tags. Garlic mineral lick...

    Nuflor and the Vet

    Ha after some research I find out they are not illegal (probably), wether or not you need a firearms license to use them I'm not sure however but no matter as I have one anyway. I've seen this crossbow https://www.bdsupplies.co.uk/medi-dart-crossbow-kit.html?search=medi%20dart haha the iea of...

    Nuflor and the Vet

    Tell me about it, I wish dart guns were legal in England, I really do. We're still battling pink eye had the whole yearling herd clear the other day (after much treatments and keeping them in for a few weeks) even the vet said said so, churn them out to pasture and boom one gets a bad eye a few...

    Calves with weepy eye.

    Big Pharma maybe, the importance of gut bacteria and the stomach bacterial ecosystem in relation to animals and peoples health isn't widely known by everyone and I suspect the big chemical companies and big pharma would like to keep it that way because the truth is if we ate and lived closer to...

    Calves with weepy eye.

    Ha this was over ten years ago, I was hooked reading through it I'd love to know the outcome from Hillsdown n co. We grow some wheat and spray it to dessciate some years but we've never had a problem that I've noticed with the straw, although funnily enough I did notice one calf the other day...

    Grass clippings

    I don't spray it I just cut mine every three weeks or so and leave the clippings to spread out the back which fertilises the lawn , I can't understand why some people bag the clippings and put it in a big pile on the edge of the lawn to rot and then presumably have to buy stuff to fertilise the...
