THIS! in a year you can push them over

Only holding a few, for weaning. The rest are being weaned on the trailer this time, we have a few yerlings that we're going to sell early 2022.

Going to wean a bunch, and cull some tomorrow. Hope the market is favorable. Hay supply is low, so not holding many calves.

It's crazy here, we have a vet that we've used, 12 miles away. He wouldn't give me an aspirin, but the boss can get nuflor. I have another guy, 15 miles away, that weve used on our lease place, and I can get whatever with a call or email, swing by and pick it up. Both have facilities.

I'm curious, as to how aggressive your stocking rate is, we're aggressive and I was wanting to use it as a tool for the least grazed areas, maybe.

Was just going to do a search on this subject, a lot learned. I like the homemade feeders, but bought 2 of the round rubber flap ones this spring, mounted them on skids, and have reduced my waste quite a bit. Anybody ever use the Riomax products? Mineral is our second highest input, and if we...

I believe it was used in testing several years back , as an ingredient for a "male" birth control pill.

Was he farm raised or an import?

And priority is the same time, and same sterilization of bottles etc.

Without a pic, my best guess would be lousy, most any pouron will handle it, if that's the case. Did you do any kind of worming , vac in the fall?

I think it is good mineral, but very expensive here.

For future reference, tape milk cartons as kind of a splint when they are young, if they are buckled below the knees. Raised several that way.

If you don't have a thermometer, get one immediately.

I believe in wormer, your choice, for calves, religously. As needed for mature cattle. Management.

I was actually referring to the otc stuff not being avaliable without rx, mostly. We used to use the additive in feed the same way, with bought unweaned calves. I don't remember What the vet used, its been a couple of years, in his defense, one was PI positive.

I cannot explain, how bad this vfd deal pizzes me off! I have had 2 calves die, because of it, had the vet out, but he didn't have what was needed on the truck, We have since quit doing business. I told him the last time, I will get it somewhere, and I did, calf saved.

You two are a treasure to this forum on this subject, thanks.

A windbreak for the bitterest environment, other than that no, imo shelters turn into a sloppy contaminated mess.

True, but I saw one of my prime steers that just wouldn't go in the catch, globbing a dang horse apple,and it just made me sick, still alive, but watching him trying to eat that thing just almost made me want to shoot him, right there.

Yep, and I may have told this before, about a cow choking and a bunch of guys trying to cut , a pear, I believe out of her throat. Jammed a rake handle down her , and bought her for 5 bucks. An old tale , that was probably true.
