Thoughts from anyone who has used or had a vet use Hexasol for respiratory issues?

When the Vet checked her (actually checked two times) they found nothing to show hardware disease. That was first thought. Nothing in the mouth, no damaged teeth, just the swollen lump under her jaw. LOL kind of looked like a double chin. I had never heard of it as well but both vets said the...

Has anyone experienced this type of issue with a cow? Had a nice 1400lb Hereford cow that early last year had a very large soft lump show up on her lower jaw. Had the vet come out and inspect. They found it was a busted saliva gland in her jaw and gave her some antibiotics vs having to do...

We have been using the Purina Accuration Tubs (25% protein, 5% fat) along with the Purina Wind and Rain minerals for two years now. I have been very satisfied with my results on my cattle. Going to switch to the 10% fat this year now that is is available here in ET. They averaged about 2lbs per...

Just a high level question- When you introduce new animals to your herd (besides obvious physical health issues): 1. Do you separate from main herd? a. If so for how long? 2. Do you perform and standard vaccinations? a. If so what? 3. Is it a different process for bulls than cows?

This has been a very interesting read sir, sorry for your loss. Your time and money spent show that you do what is needed as an animal Sheppard watching your flock. Great way to learn from this when you post your findings. Question: Sorry if i missed it in the reading, has any blood testing been...

The time that I seen for my cows started on Mid February and how have hair growing back over the bald spots and scabs. So month and a half to two months is proving right. The sun and heat has really helped them recover.

Should be close to about 40 bales left, we keep enough to feed and sale the rest. Will change that up next year as I am trying t build a bigger storage barn so I can keep more. Should be nice to go from year to year. I should have enough to feed out from what I calculated, this cold snap put a...

Now that is funny. I know it has not affected their eating habits, liked to have not got the hay in the feeder today. Poor things act like their a kid in the candy store.

Thanks everyone. The more research I did after posting this I concur. I was going to put some topical cream on them for fungus. I will be keeping them for sure, only have some calves not infected (that i know of) to sell. Funny thing is I had planned on catching them up two weeks ago before the...

Question for the multitude. First off, I have called the Vet and spoke with them by sending pics, and will have a follow up. I have a cow and two heifers that showed up with some type of skin issue around their eyes and one on the forehead. This started about a two weeks ago when we got hit with...

We have been using the Vitaferm concept aide 8s with free choice salt. The cows went through the first two bags like candy, now on the third bag they have slowed to normal feed of 4oz roughly a day. Cows and calves are eating it. Have noticed a different in cows from front to back, especially...

I paid $37 a 50lb bag, but that is buying one bag at a time.

We do have free choice salt nearby for them to access. Just ordered some more today.

Well I have finally found a mineral that my cattle like and it is actually good for them. Started using the VitaFerm Concept-Aid 8/S Mineral and they are going back for seconds. I had not had any success with the local coop minerals as others have so i was informed about this and it seems to be...
