2x texas. Check the temp in two days and its high give another shot. If not let it be unless the calf is acting weird. The banamine will work in a an hour or two and break the fever. Its amazing once you drop the fever how the animal responds.

Glad to hear there is some progress.

Great post X2

I forgot about the whole Aubrac cattle thing. What about Ivf with sex sorted. I know it takes two straws out of your 15 but I think you can do like 8 cows with those two.

I would worry about the blood and developing an infection also. I do have a question Walnut if you have the mom why dont you flush the mom to the heifers sire? At least then you would have a group of heifers to chose from.

Nice work Jo. DO you have any vet experience or just learn as you go? That one thing we dont have on the farm is rompin. Vet wont give it up. Helps that the wife is a nurse so we get some of the tools that are supposed to be thrown out in the ER.

Hoss your not having good luck with your bulls lately. Feed isnt new or not mixed properly or something? Hope every thing works out.

Its not apple friendly. I used to use it with my old computer.

Tom which scales did you get I seen the Gallagher setup with platform and computer for 1700.

Your location,weather,and soil must call for a lot different engineering from the northeast and the freeze and thaw weather here. The commercial 60 yard storage slabs I poured last week are only 4" with wire with two pieces of #5 bar in the haunch footer. I have to say I havent poured...

4" with a piece of scrap wire or cattle panel will work fine for pad but thicker for just footers. 4" holds trucks fine it better hold your cows. But then again some guys wean some monsters on here. 6" is just overkill for a pad and not small footers SKY.

Also if the calf is in bad shape maybe look for something else like pneumonia if its down and out with joint ill and bad weather.

Nuflor you should give 3cc IM, 6cc SQ, 6cc SQ every other day for three doses. Dont skip doses and make sure you are giving that amount PER 100 LBS. If he is 6 weeks would assume he is around 200 so double that dose. If he is not eating maybe the temp is up. Give banamine 1-2 per 100lbs and...

Just had a calf with pneumonia for the first time. Hit him with nuflor twice and then draxxin( micotil) cause he still seemed a little off. Gave banamine the first three days to drop fever that was 105, reduce breathing rate, and heart rate. BoSe and probias may do him some good. Never used...

Ok so checked her today it was an abscess cause it burst all over her leg. Got her in the chute, squeezed out all the puss, flushed it with iodine and gave her some ceftiflex cause we had some frozen that I wanted to get rid of. She will get two more does over the next two days. Diditn seem...

So checked her again today and it does seem a little bigger. Tried looking under her and it may be an abscess. Softer on the bottom of the hard ball. Teat is set more in front of the ball. Its not like the teat is under the mass. The bottom is darker than the rest. I got Pen G and nuflor...

So noticed a three year old today that has a two month old calf on her with a tennis ball sized lump high in her rear quarter. There is no milk in the quarter that I could get out but she doesnt have much anyway unfortunately. It is not hot or hurt her in any way. I am around them everyday so...

Hows the calf?

So talked to my vet not the one on call yesterday. He said to give nuflor three times. 3 IM, 6SQ, 6SQ every other day. So basically the same thing we did before except an extra dose. So that should keep in his system for 8 days and that should knock out any residual infection in the body...

I read a little on the drax is it really for something like naval ill. I dont know. I dont really have an answer like everyone else. I mean his joint wasnt swollen after like three days and we treated when he was less than two days old. Every post I read was for a calf that had it for days or...
