Looking Good ! Always like to find them like this..up looking alert and ready to go.

Several months ago our Pastor told us ..if the Lord brings you to it--everything you need is there. Tonight I have re-newed faith ! Thank you all for your help with my problem! The cow was up and walking around when I went this pm. She looked thin on the calf side--I looked in the area she...

First off I should clarify, the vet did not really push the bloodwork and when she couldn't do the IV, I didn't go there. I talked to my husband and we do not think there is anything wrong with the cow except a pinched nerve or something going on with the calf. We are not going to have blood...

Thanks Suz, I had some molasses so I have mixed some up with a little baking soda in it. I also have the electrolytes and anacid the vet left me yesterday mixed in a bucket..I am using a calf tuber that hooks to a bottle and can also be used to drench. I really think its a pinched nerve and...

Thank you Goodlife..I sent you a pm. Oh and Hillsdown, no temp and no banamine. I got a bottle of it--it is expired since 2009--but its been stored in the house, maybe I could get the Vet to give me a syringe of it--I could take her tempature, don't know why I didn't think of that, I guess...

how am i going to get something under her belly? I was thinking maybe somthing under her front legs I could manage. That is what I am trying to find someone to help me with. I thought maybe if we just even dragged her a few feet she might be able to get up. I have a skid loader that will...

Okay, I called the vet, the vet came out. She did an exam, gloved up and said she thought the cow was pregnant but the calf was in deep or she couldn't feel because the cow was laying down. The cow did take a big poo during the exam and it did not look like the manure was changed that much...

Yes I just called the vets office, I told them what I wrote and the receptionist came back and told me "the vet said it sounds like you cow is having a calf".

Could a cow walk around bloated for 2 days? Would she look huge if she was bloated? I'm not sure she is drinking either..thanks dun, I will try something. I'm on my own this week, husband is out of town..maybe I should call the vet.

Today a 5 yr old cow in good condition bred with her 3rd calf, due approx 6 weeks (I write down when cows are in heat, lying down acting wierd. 2 days ago the cows pushed down a section of fence that needs work and most of them were out, except her and 2 other cows. I put grain in the feed...

My perfect farm would be: 1. Paid for 2. Good location with good access for hauling cattle or anything else that is needed (feed, hay, fertilizer) 3. Good soil and good drainage. Hay fields already established a plus 4. Water souce, well, lake, creek 5. As much as I hate clearing timber, I...

The first picture is beautiful and in my opinon could win a photo contest! Great looking cattle too ~ they make a beautiful picture and sight too :)

Your cattle are looking good this year Randy. Looking at your pictures through the years I definately see an improvment in your herd. They are looking fat and sassy like big bull says. Always love your pictures.

Yes Beefy, they are Lucy's calves. I locked him up a couple days, then let him go and he stayed in the barn a couple of days. Sometimes when I go up he comes to the fence and I bottle feed him, a couple of times he won't come. Yesterday when I went he was nursing Lucy (the cow)..she...

Yes Dun and Angie, Thats what I'm hoping for, but I know he hadn't eaten the first night out. I just didn't want to let him go down hill. He has been a good eater from day one eating 1 gallon of milk 2 times a day. He just seems kinda dumb about it. I will post what happens next week.

Thanks LimoMike and BackhoeBoogie, I was thinking about selling him too..but to tell the truth I could use another beef to sell at weaning if he grows good. Trying to get him on some starter too as milk replacer price is pretty high. $250 sounds pretty good. I'm going to release him on...

Yes I have a small pen made with an opening only the calves can fit into. It was using it before it went out in the pasture. Maybe it went in shock being out in the cold weather. Thanks for your advise. This morning when I went out to the barn the calf was sucking the nipple on the bucket...

Our oldest cow had her 10 & 11 calves on Dec 22. Couldn't believe it 10 pregnancy's and now twins !! Bull calves too, was happy about that:) She accepts both of them as her own, but I am bottle feeding one of them. It was complicated her taking both of them because she has had 2 teats...

Prices are good now--took 3 to the sale barn on Wed, and I didn't even get close to top dollar. These 3 animals been busting out for a few weeks, a 20 month steer, pregnant cow and her 8 month calf. They don't like my chocolate white face animals--so I got less than I expected. But I got...

What works for one person does not always work for another. Since we are a small producer--every calf counts. I see posts about people who sell by the "groups" and I'm sure that the 60 day window is important. Truth is we only have 15 cows..and they tend to calf in groups, so I do have small...
