I know this is kind of funny, but my niece has a holstein 4-H dairy beef that we castrated a month and a half ago. We cut them and physically has two testicles on the ground. He has healed up and it now feels as though there is another testicle in there. No swelling or sores or pain. Ironic...

Have a week old angus bull calf, developed scours yesterday, gave him 2 qts of resorb electrolytes seperated from mom overnight, this am gave a qt of resorb and turned him back in with mom. Now he is lethargic, breathing is labored, and he is running a temp. Vet is called. Question is, Do any...

Just cut all of my bull calves and noticed one this am that had swelling all the way up through his penis. Called vet and he said give him penicillin. Never had thisnhappen like this before. Any thoughts or comments appreciated.

I use Triangle 9 vaccine. I am pointing the finger in the direction of two dairy beef calves I bought a few weeks ago. They were not bought at a sale barn, but they both had issues soon after they were brought home.

Update. Calf is up on it's own and nursing by itself. I guess a bit of patience and extended time doctoring do go a long way. Made my otherwise dreary week quite bright.

Vet came out yesterday and said it was probably white muscle disease. He gave it a shot if selenium and two others to treat secondary illnesses. Tube fed calf every 4-5 hours alternating electrolytes/milk replacer. If it shows no sign of improvement in the next twenty four hours, I will put...

The last two calves born on our place have gotten off to excellent starts and within a week they were down. The first had scours real bad and had trouble walking. The hind legs just wouldn't work and it would fall over. That calf is fine now after some vet treatment for pneumonia and scours...

Have a holstein bottle baby on milk replacer. I changed to the cheaper milk replacer (Purina all milk to Purina soy based) and all of a sudden he has the runs like crazy. Other calves are fine. Been giving electrolytes in between feedings. He has a good appetite and eats starter. He is...

Had a calf born two days ago. Didn't see him nurse at all and momma never really sprung up prior to calving. She looks like she is slowly coming along but her udders don't look like they have been touched. Yesterday calf seemed lethargic and had scours bad. Tried electrolytes in a bottle but...

What I meant was that you should sell them both seperately, but not as a pair. There are people out there that try and sell their junk as cow/calf pairs.

Why would you try to sell them as a pair and have someone else buy a worthless cow.

Is it possible for a cow to still be bred while having a infection in her uterus? She didn't bleed off, but did have some white pus on her vulva.

Have a calf with scours tinged with blood. Eats well and is peppy. What are some recommended treatments. Have in barnyard with mom for close observation.

Yesterday I turned out some first calf heifers and their calves into big pasture. They had been in a small pasture close to the barn and had some shade. Upon checking on them I noticed one that was panting like a dog. The weather was sunny ( low 80's and humid). This particular calf was full...

I recently noticed a first calf heifer (beef cow)being sucked on by another. I seperated the one sucking her and then she really bagged up over the next coupledays. She is not due for another month or so. Will this hurt her lactation and will the calf get an adequate amount of colostrum. I...

Vaccinations( Triangle 9) should be given initially as a shot followed by a second dose in two weeks and a booster yearly. Worm as needed. Hope that helps.
