As far as I know it is the exact same thing as the one online. I just like to have a hard copy for when I don't have internet access - but you're not missing anything by not having the hard copy as far as I know! TCFC

Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely be ordering some of those, trying to find them on sale on Amazon.com ;) I definitely have the Merck Manual already, that book is my saving grace in vet school - everything you could care to know at your fingertips it seems at times!! It seems I...

Hey guys, Does anyone have any good books on cattle (beef or dairy) that they would suggest as being a good resource to have around? After seeing it in many posts I just ordered "Storey's Guide to Beef Cattle", but I have a lot more to learn than just one book can teach me!! Thanks in...

Sir Loin? How long have you been on this forum?? FYI Milkmaid is to be revered, hahaha. I have learned more from her than I have from a lot of other people. And she is always more than willing to answer the stupid questions inexperienced me has. I do not see your need to try to prove her...

All of the C-Sections I have heard of are done from the side. Actually... most cattle surgeries are. They try to avoid the midline due to the fact that when they stand up, all the weight would be bearing down on the incision, and gives a very high risk of the incision opening. Likely an...

I post any question here because I am a RANK beginner... and don't feel I am near ready to move from the beginner's board.

I know :( Honestly, if I could afford to volunteer for a summer I would do it, but there is no way to. Being ineligible for student loans really sucks! It is really frustrating because I see so many awesome unpaid summer internship opportunities that I would give my right arm to do!! I will...

Hey guys, I am hoping someone can give me some suggestions, or at least a nudge in the right direction... I am a first year vet student, and I want to go into large animal medicine and I have a particular interest in herd health and bovine. However, I do not have a whole lot of hands on...

"Lurch the wonder Watusi" I was searching for pictures of Watusi cattle and came across this... these pictures don't look altered, but holy mother of God those horns are massive!!! Is it possible for cattle to *get* horns that big!? TCFC

There isn't one ;) That's the problem. Organic farming is VERY opinion based, with many different ideas of what is really is. In 2005 or 2006 the IFOAM was asked to come up with a definition of Organic Agricuture, and from what I gather, they are still in the process and the final draft has to...

I am completely ignorant when it comes to cattle... really just here to try to learn more... but this statement didn't really make sense to me... Haven't dairy cattle had the maternal nature bred out of them in favour of production... they have their calves taken away very shortly after birth...

I want cows for wedding presents!! If ever I get married I am gonna have to put my wedding gift directory somewhere other than a major department store :P I know NADDA about beef cow conformation yet, but she sure is cute :) TCFC

All amazing suggestions :) Thanks guys!!! Some, are not so feasible, however. Ha ha ha. I am in Prince Edward Island in Canada... lol... not too many quality rodeos around here :) lol. Although, the PBR is making an appearance in October, I will have to try to get down... I am hoping to get a...

Hey guys!! First some background... I am a first year veterinary student, and I am interested in becoming a large animal vet, with a lot of time spent in bovine medicine. I am a member of a bovine club, and we get to do extra wet lab working with the cattle, to get xperience we don't acquire...

That stuff is deadly. I know yew will kill a horse and the berries will still be in the mouth... Thanks for the additional heads up :) TCFC

*sigh* Some never show any signs do they... My friend was doing a project with a cow and had to be there for the birth to take rectal temperatures etc. We went down to the RAC (ruminent animal centre) last night at about 1:20 and had to wait till 1:40 for security to come and let us in... we...

Thanks guys :) TCFC
