Thanks Beefy...makes sense!

Thanks everyone...she will most definately be leaving before bull gets turned back out. Beefy, could you explain why if it were front, rather than side it would be different? Michele

Definately not this situation... I was too busy worry about pulling the calf, than looking at her udder til I let her out of the chute, and she was kicking at some afterbirth that wrapped around her leg, that I saw her left side had NOTHING going on. Michele

Absolutely not, I have a pic and will try and upload it tonight. For right now (just born) he's getting enough, just wondering how that may be in a month or two :?: Thanks for your reply!

I just had a heifer calve on Sat, and the right half side of her bag is filled as normal, but the left is NOTHING...I mean the tits are there, but nothing. Has anyone seen this? Will the calf get enough? What are odds she still may fill on that side? What about next calf, would same thing...

One of last years steers had a wart on the fold of skin between the brisket and his leg.... nasty looking thing, it was growing on both sides of the fold of skin with spikes coming out all over about 3/4" long.... looked like some kind of sea creature. Summer and green grass came, it was...

On an off chance - Was all the medication from the same bottle? Could something be wrong with the meds?

CEMENT ?? :shock:

I have talked with a lot of people around here and also they are saying there is a very fast acting type of pneumonia.... no outward signs of initial symptoms, but dead in 6 to 8 hours. Hard to catch and hard to treat.

I understand what you're saying, we've had tough weather this year also... and I've been watching the usual runny noses, coughs, etc. I guess I should say, every extreme case that has had to have med's was from the same lot.... which could be a lot of reasons, of which I will probably never...

Ok, the steer that we doctored Monday before last, # 74. I received a call this Monday, saying there was a sick steer. ... Remember I went to the farm on Sunday, and I thought all was well, except for the coughing. Monday night, went to the farm, and was there for over an hour checking out...

I was feeling really cooped up yesterday, so I took a drive to the farm, just to be outside really. Walked by the steer pen, they seemed like they are doing good. Went to the pasture with the heifers/cows/bull and spent a little time with them... I think they have adequate condition, and all...

Sorry for your loss.... were you feeding crumbles (auromyacin) sorry if spelling is wrong. Michele

Our farm is just a few miles south of 10! We have no cab tractors either... luckily we don't burn wood! So far so good on the steer... all are still upright!

Husband got to the farm last night, and there was a steer laying spread out....and was not with his peers.... he walked down as he thought for sure it was dead. About 1/2 way over to the steer (8 weight) he picked up his head and look at hubby. Hubby said by the time he got to the steer it...

I like your answer better! That's what I get for sleeping 3 hours last night, been up since 2:30 am crunching numbers and come to the boards for some relief.... better to keep my fingers(mouth) shut :shock: Michele

I had a 600# steer not too long ago with the same initial sympton... had called the vet, and he said to watch over the next 24 hours and see if any additional blood was seen. Vet possibly thought with only one instance of small amount of blood, could of been a burst hemmoroid. As it turned out...

I was told that the fungus from ring worm can live a LONG time, especially in porous items, such as wood. Animals scratch themselves or rub up on it and it will keep coming back. Good thing is, the animal will usually only get it once. Usually in it's 1st year of life. Make sure you have...

Thanks Alice - actually I am not too upset about the sterile heifer.... she looked real nice this summer, but had really started to lag behind the others this winter, just not as nice of growth out of her... I knew one of the heifers was open, it was like clock work when I'd see some jumping...

Nope - we had no idea.... actually these were all purchased at auction.
