    Pink Eye - Dec in WI?

    Two years ago we had three angus hifers get it in January in central Illinios. Don't know what brought it on, but we were able to treat it right away and it cleared right up. It didn't seem to hang on as long as it does in the warm weather. It sure does throw you for a loop when you first see...

    AI Timing using secondary signs

    Swollen Testicles

    urgent reply needed bloat

    Kathy, Release of gas is great, but that is a long way from his rumen. put his in a head catch, and put a tube down his throat. When you get to the gas pocket, the smell coming out of the end of the tub e will be so strong you won't be able to mistake it. let all the gas bleed out the tubeyou...

    Should I patch an eye or not?

    Don't patch it, all you will be doing is trapping in more moisture. Try catching her and scrubbing it to get it to bleed, I usually saturate it with iodine, but not right against the eye ball. I've used novusain cream to clear it up before in the same areas. It seems to dry it up as fast as any...

    swollen (vulva?)

    I've seen this on lots of dairy cattle. It doesn't seem to effect them much. It shouldn't effect her breeding back. However it might get irritated if she swats flys a bunch.

    Lymphoma

    Yes cancer is usually genetic but not always, I'm pretty sure it probably didn't come from the sire. I have seen LOTS of Jace calves and he seems to be an excellent sire. As far as the cows milk is concerned, yes its fine to drink, nobody in the house will grow any extra lumps.

    Protien Tub?

    I've never used a mineral tub with horses. But I have used American Stockman brand loose mineral for both. Any of your standard livestock minerals can be used for both as long as they are not medicated. I would think that the horses would not leave the tub alone due to the molases used as a...

    Milk fever is very severe dificiancy of calcium. Most commonly seen in dairy cows, but not that uncommon in beefers. A cows calcium levels will sometimes take a plunge right after calving. The usual symptoms are a cow that is really unstable or shakey right after calving, her ears will be cold...

    Dairy calf help please!!!!

    I like the idea of beer, I'll have to try that one. I use Anchor 7 and Tsv-2. In my opinion, you can very easily over do a vaccination program trying to prevent this problem. I think the real source of scours comes from a mediocre post calving regime. If you are getting the calves at about a...
