    Question about giving a shot in the muscle??????

    I think the directions say to inject at 45 days, I have waited a little longer, not much. That is to make it not be such a large discharge. My choice is in the neck, which is where most all are given today, just draw back on the syringe after you stick ir in, to make sure you're not in a vein...

    Calf Question

    The raw egg is almost 100% protien, it won't hurt the calf unless it gets some ecoli, or something from it, but it will definatly be more protein for the calf, I have done it many times, no damage, I can't say exactly how much it helped, but I learned it from a fellow who used to just buy...

    Sweet Lix...Anyone use it?

    My son is using sweetlix minerals, and sometimes uses right now minerals, I think because of the difference in price, but he gets sweetlix minerals with ctc, whatever that is, I don't really know, I think it is some type of antibiotic in it. I guess it works well, don't seem to have any that...

    Foolin' around, flies or founder???

    Nuflor will do it. My son, who now does the cows, had what he n I thought was foot rot almost a year ago, treated him twice with it, 14 days apart, he is doing well now, n has been. The stuff is expensive, and prescription, sure you know that. Best of luck. tryinhard

    swollen feet n the growth of whatever between the toes

    No, it's just the groth between the toes, is huge it not only is to keep them together, this is spreading the toes apart very big, and the middle part is half way to the ground n this bull is not yet 2 yrs. old. I don't know. The question was is there a lack of something like minerals, or what ?

    Safeguard

    I use the pour on most of the time and have had the applicator stop wroking, and you may want to try this, I did find it to work well for me. I used a dishwashing liquid bottle. Just another thought, and it does work well.
