Well, I don't know that's what we are told what's wrong. See it doesn't make since because we have all their minerals plus out. I have been in the office when clients come in. They are having the same problems we are. I know it's not worms or liver flukes,they have been tested and treated. We...

As you all know we have a alot of problems this year with cows dying. Well,had alot of tests run and it came back. Not enough magnesium. Even though we have extra mag out not counting lick tubs,salt , mineral blocks and loose minerals. We are not the only ones having this problem this year. A...

That doesn't sound all that bad bigbull. We don't cut all of our bull calves. Like you there is not that much diffence in the price. It makes things alot easier for the feedlots. Since they don't want to pay all that much for them. Let them do it.

Oh my gosh ,I am in shock. I couldn't live up ya'lls way. I like to look at snow ,but that's it. I know listening to the news tonight. It is suppose to real windy here and severe thunder storms. Stay warm and safe and I'm glad to hear your animals made it .

I've seen a bull or 2 come thru the sale barns that have looked like that.I asked Rick to look at this and see what he thought. He said he has seen it before. He said that bull got some sort of thorn or burr in his penis ,that has caused a major infection. Nothing you can do for him though.

If you have a pen or something to keep her in . That's what I would do. Sell her as a pair. The prices down here has started going up since it rained. But if you can not separate her ship her out. Your new calves will suffer from not enough colostrum.

Hello Toby that crazy person would be me. :lol: Yes we do know we are crazy and yes some of these people seem crazy to us. :banana: I was happy to win ,didn't really think I was bragging. Heck I was tickled to death. Maybe it was a crazy thing to do buying calves. But I know what I am...

Aw Toby sorry for your loss. Keep your head up and keep on trucking. It might have been a situation you couldn't have help anyway. But I do give you an A plus for trying.

Ok Toby do you have a square bale of hay. Bring it in and put her across it . Just put her across it for 15-20 mins. It will help with the bloating. She needs to move around alittle. Pull her up by her tail and a ear Anything just get that calf up for a bit.

Toby I started reading your story last night. You have done a great job, hope your calf makes it. One thing I will tell you,if you are going to tube that calf just one qt. at a time. You will need to feed it every couple of hours. She will not get enough to eat. Or feed it 2qts. at a time 3...

If it's like our sale barn, they probably hit him with the hot shock as you were backing up just to get him ready. Went to the sale Monday and I don't think a single animal came through that didn't get hit with the hot shock as they opened the door to the ring. If we couldn't handle our...

BC thanks for asking for a breakdown. It is not that bad. :) I had forgot they deducted the calves I had bought. I think I was just in shock of what they sold for I just didn't see it at the time. Anyway the breakdown is...170.23 comm.,16.00 yard,11.91 insurance,9.60 brand,BFC 13.20 ,4.00 pg...

Randi ,I just love looking at your calves. They are so nice. Very healthy and happy looking.

Thanks for the chart. We are located in the darkest color part D4. There has been no rain since last July 4.

I remember this as well. We sold everything except 20 cows and one bull. We are probably going to have to do it again. It was hard thing to do,but I don't remember the prices being this bad. Maybe we sold them before it did. I don't know what to do anymore. Poor ol Rick just keeps feeding and...

Oh I guess I should have told what you could have bought for 300.00. Black angus first time cow/calf pairs. My mouth just dropped. There were about 12 prs. Now this is when a person should figure out . We (cattlemen) are in a world of poo. They did have a few F-1's the went for 750.00 a pair...

Well,the sale barn was not kind yesterday. Cattle has dropped again down here. There were alot of sad cases coming thru. You know some of those you just stand and shake your head. I busted a nut sunday and loaded 16 head up. One 3 yr.old cow went thru her last fence with me. My landlord had...

Yes you are correct. This is the only cow that has done this. The other cows that calved and never got back up . Were not on my place. This was problems someone else is having. The 2 that I had to prolaspe were first time heifers. The other 2 that I had to go down were old enough to vote and...

This cow passed a couple of days ago. So I can't really check anything.

Thank you redcow,poor ol cow just started going down after losing her calf. So maybe cancer . One man I talked to was thinking sand worms. But I would think all of my cows would be looking bad. I don't know.
