no, she has the look of life, ive seen the given up look but this one wont try to get up but as long a she has feed,water seems to be making it. I just hate wasting time on a lost cause. But i guess i wont know till she either gets up or gives it up.

for what ever reason i have a first calf heifer that had a calf and everything was going great. She was getting pulled down pretty bad so I pinned her up and supplemented her with young heifers. She still went down hill. Her calf up and died after about a month. Nothing appeared wrong with him...

cattle with long toes and cattle with bad feet are not the same. some cattle have bad feet and problems withe the actual structure of the foot or bones above the foot, a genetic defect. If an animal doesn't have rough terrain to trim the hooves, they sometimes need trimmed. It is a hair follicle...

I have a couple of cattle with long toes. It seems more prominent this year than in years past. has anyone else noticed this. also how often do you trim your problem cows feet if there toes are long. Thanks

if you want to slick them off torch them in a grooming chute or I use a squeeze chute.That will slick them up everytime.

I have a 11 month old bull on gain test. all the fed,hay,grass he can eat. One day he acts like he is drunk. stumbling, can't walk straight, and not able to get up very well. he broke out of a fence(fell through it) I roped him and tried to bring him back to the barn to dr him. he was in no...

that bull wouldn't make it through the night if I wowned him. Caustic can give you aiming tips but I would kill and eat him and his brothers. what you are experiencing is terrible. the calves that make it are going to have this BW issue. He has done some real dmage to your herd. if you look at...

This is a wild one. My cousin who lives in alabama has got about 50 head of cows. he is an investment banker who has done very well for himself. He bought some land and cows for a tax right off. He hired a hand to take care of the cattle full time. From what he tells me this guy has done a great...

What protocol do you use when bringing new calves into your place. I just bought an old man's herd of open heifers for a deal I couldn't turn down. They are angus brangus cross heifers 14-16 monthes old. ready for a bull. This man is selling about 60 of his 160 cows for a lack of winter feed...

i went throught the same thing. I used purina and another stockade mineral. my cows wouldn't touch it. I started feeding the right now with fly control and they love it. I would try another brand, the more they eat the better. I think cows need minerals every day. the land and feed can only...

i was looking into cloning a bull I had and a super donor cow I had. i ran into some guys that were talking about sexing semen, and eggs. they were talking about in the future you might be able to buy bulls that will sire only males or females. they will be altered so they don't have one or the...

greenwillow, if you were in the brangus business we could do some swapping. in the last 2 years out of close to 100 calves, 90 have been heifers. I need bull calves not heifers but i guess you get what you get.

if she raises good calves you can have her flushed. it will cost around $400 to have her set up. ai, and flushed. you will also have the cost of setting up the recips and putting in the eggs. you will probably get only about 50% bred so have a good clean up bull ready.if she is good the way I...

i have tried many different methods. you can feed a purina accuration. this can be mixed in different concentration levels for bulls,heifers, or cows. you might try this. It works well for me.

she got stuck in the mud for about 10 hours. she won't get up on her feet. I don't know if something is wrong with her legs or what. She is healthy but she just won't get up. you can move her legs around and she doesn't even wiggle them or try to pull them back. I hate to let her die but I have...

I have a sick cow that I think will like but has something wrong with her legs. I am having to feed her feed and water by hand in a covered area everyday. my vet came and gave her all the necessary medicine to try to get her back up. my question is there is a 14-21 withdraw slaughter time for...

I saw a show on the cattle show about this guy and his dogs. they are awsome. I plan on buying one from him next year. he is sold outof fully trained dogs. they are real good but proud of them. $2500-$4000 for a trained dog. http://www.ranchdogu.com/hidnhills.htm

you might want to check to see if it is dallas grass poisoning. I lost a cow and a calf to it a couple of weeks ago. the vet who came and fixed a prolapse cow for me a couple days ago said he just treated a whole herd that had it. 15 died and about 50 were sick. he said it had been 10 years...

ultimate genetics is the best that I have found. It is VERY expensive on the front end but for the quality of cattle you get in the long run it is sure a good way to go. I started my herd with several donors and used my existing herd as recips for the eggs. I cut my genetic lead time by using...
