I still miss Combiotic.

It was injected in the stomach for treatment of foot rot. Supposedly it gets into the blood stream quicker than subq or IM injection. He also stated that he knew of two vets (one now deceased) that did it that way. And not long ago he had a bull treated for a limp and he watched as the vet...

Anyone ever heard of injecting LA-200 or other antibiotics directly into the stomach of a cow? (in to the triangular spot where you puncture them for bloat). I was told that two vets in my area do it that way.

My comment on Angus was for "I Luv Herefords" not you. You were the one that stated that you didn't like our opinions and posted this after my last post. I jumped you, when you jumped me. Oh well, no skin off of my back, Regards

Feedyards don't like horns, around here they dock you for horns and/or Brahmer influence. As far as horns being dangerous, have you ever saw a person get gored by a bull or cow with horns? Ask them if they would prefer horns or not. Ask my dad, why he doesn't like horns. About 50 years ago...

It won't grow back but the "meat" will harden up. My first cow, Bonnie lost a horn in a fight, she lived another 10 years after that with one good horn and the bad one Have you ever heard this? The best way to dehorn your cattle is to buy Angus and screw them off........ :oops:

If they are registered cattle you should have called a vet instead of trying to treat her yourself or asking for advice after the fact here.. :roll:

I know that it lives in the soil and every once in awhile it appears. It also spreads by coyotes and wolves dragging dead calf carcasses from farm to farm To see if it is blackleg feel of the leg. If the legs feel like their is air under the skin it is blackleg. I vaccinate all of my calves and...

How does the calf bumping into something have any effect on blackleg? I have been around cows over 30 years and have never heard of that..

anyone here using cydectin pour on? Do you like it? When would you apply it here in Texas?

In my 25 years of messing with cows, I have found that very few every get back up. Maybe 1 out of 100. If she's not up in a week, go ahead and dispose of her

Very good responses. Thank you

I just finished with a bout of pneumonia. I used LA 200. One calf died and the other 6 recovered. Is nuflor better than LA 200, and if so how? With LA 200 I can administer one shot (4.5cc/100lbs) and not have to doctor again for three days. Is nuflor a daily dose drug? Thanks

I have several calves that periodically shake their heads, as if their ears itch. What do u think? Lice?

Thanks, Those trimmers are fairly cheap. I will give one a try. Beat's getting kicked or having to take one to the vet.

Haven't heard of Cattle Calm paste, I will look into it. Thanks

I have 40 head and I have about two a year that need trimming, always the rear feet... My soil is mostly clay so it should wear down the hooves. I don't know of anyone around here that trims hooves. When I take one to the vet they put them in the squeeze shoot and pull their leg back with a...

Do any of you use tranquilizers and the CapChur gun? I have several cattle that need their hooves trimmed and thought that this might be easier and cheaper than buying a squeeze chute. How safe is it to put a cow under? What percentage will not wake up? Or should I buy a squeeze shoot and try...

I don't buy any of my minerals or feed from TSC. From checking prices they are always way too high
