    Feeding minerals and salt

    Thirsty Cow

    Just got back from giving her the Nuflor, 60 cc in 6 shots under the skin in the neck, hopefully and with God's help she'll make it thru this.

    Thirsty Cow

    All the poop around her is firm and makes a pile. She goes in the shoot tomorrow to be checked out, will sure look for blockages as I check her mouth. Same with the temp. Thanks for suggesting the blockage check!

    Thirsty Cow

    Hi, since everyone was most helpful with my other question I thought I would ask the experts another one! I bought 2 - 4 y/o bred cows last month due to calve in mid March. They had mixed in well with the others until yesterday. When I went to feed I noticed one of them hanging around some mud...
