Give her a 'shot' of kaopectade or pepto bismol, whatever you have. And keep a close eye on her as the others said. As long as she is jumping around I wouldnt worry too much.

Oh boy, yeah no. That's too much LOL

There is a thing like that here called Puckboard (not pegboard) it's arena or hockeyboard. 4x8 sheets and is also used in animal housing etc. Not sure if you guys would have that where you are. It's 'technical' explanation is: "Puckboard is also known as "HDPE" or "High Density Poly Ethylene"

Doesn't have to be anything fancy or expensive to line the inside of the alleyway. Wood will take a beating over time and will rot in the weather more easily. Keep that in mind depending on how long you want to use that set up. As for making the sides higher. You could make the side, which you...

If he had all his original shots for the last couple years you don't have to do the booster shot just because you are a little late with him this year. Unless you switch to a different type of vaccine.

It's unfortunate that you didn't vaccinate him the same time as the cows, you wouldn't be in the predicament with not being able to get 'one shot' doses. As what to vaccinate for....... no idea, I don't know what the 'needs' for your area are, but I would say you should vaccinate him the same as...

An exam can be completely normal and fine. And the bull was probably fine a year ago too. Crap happens over time.

When is the re-try going to happen?

What did the Vet say?

I'd say it's a corkscrew penis. Can he pull it all the way back in? Curious...... was it always shaped like that? Or just all of a sudden? Can they break it that far ahead? I thought a break would be further back. But what do I know............ either way, like @GoWyo says, corkscrew or...

With the corral the, way it is, I would add one thing. Even if it's temporary, just to make it work for the bull...... Take a handy panel or whatever you have and attach it to the 'south side' of the outer perimeter. (see red line) That way, when you have the bull, or who ever against the east...

Please do not take my 5 cent as criticism, because it's always easier to comment from outside the window. Stop thinking about your setup. It is what it is now and you should concentrate on cattle behaviour instead. Few things come to mind as to why the bull didn't want to go in. Some things...

Yeah might have been my thread. There was no definite answer to where the scrapes and lesions on my bull came from in the end. All speculation, even by the vet. They were not deep sores as they seem on the cow in the pictures here on this post. We ivomeced him, sprayed the lesions with...

Don't have a set amount of uses before we change needles. But no, not worried about spreading anything. The groups immunized together are not new to each other and we wouldn't immunize a known ill animal with a healthy group together.

One issue we hope to have fixed now is the leaking of the 'hose' guns. Noticed that the hoses didn't stay all the way on the connectors on the gun side. They slipped half way out for whatever reason, probably because there is a lot of movement of the gun itself. Heated up the hose a bit, pushed...

Well that gives me somewhat an idea. We usually get it done before November anyway, but this year the cows came home late from the lease, this weekend we started with a new to us vaccination program and I didn't want to add Ivomec on top of the to do list when they have to come back in in 2...

We had nothing but problems yesterday with 2 of the 'tube' fed guns. I really like the idea, but there are so many connecting points and thus areas where one could have a leak, we lost quite a bit of vaccine and then a bottle top failed, rubber pushed in while trying to push the hose connect...

Yes I just use short needles, maybe not short enough. Will have to see how much shorter I can get around here.

Up to which minus temps do you ivomec?

Hey guys, it's not a question about types of vaccines, but about the tools you use to administer. Processed calves and cows today, using new to me auto load syringe guns. Allflex to be specific. One has the bottle mounted directly on top of the barrel and administers 2 to 5 cc's at a time when...
