article in the paper the other day about a deer born disease similar to blue tongue. Can't remember the name. Most cows will survive but older one often don't. Cows can abort. Two people I know have lost 3 or 4 cows each recently. My cow is no worse and no better.

Some breed known for low birth weights and calving ease. I have read that your breed has a high rate of calving problems. Good luck.

ears alert, head not down, calf born in april, still eats. Had her wormed today. Will try to post picture next day or two.

She is eating and her calf is healthy but she is a bit of a loner. The grass available is good and she gets a small amount of grain once per week as a treat along with an occasional watermelon. I think her previous owner fed her large portions of grain. I am concerned about her runny nose...

I have a cow with a 400# healthy calf. The cow is skinny now and has recently developed a runny nose. Should I call the vet for antibiotics or will it run its course and be alright? What other signs of trouble should I look for?

If you guys are that unhappy. GET OUT NOW! I think it is a good business if you aren't stuck in the past. People get caught up on breeds etc when hard work and good pasture will make them money. Pick a breed you like, cross it with a breed that you think will help and hope for the best...

todd dague That is what I was trying to say. Non electric barb wire on the outside with one or two strands of electric non barb on the inside just for respect and to keep them from pushing and/or laying on the posts etc. Some have said that it is a bad idea to put it on the outside, but they...

It's sick! For a small fee all pets could be spayed or neutered. It is better than putting them in a plastic bag and dumping them in the stream as some people used to do. SAD!

If cost is not a problem, you should be able to hire someone to build a six strand barb with good posts for around $1.50 a foot plus corners and braces and gates etc. That could be a lot of money. If you desire and have helpful and skilled neighbors you could cut this by around 40%. If you...

The first looks like a British white x longhorn

I have a fescue/orchard grass mix. It seems to do well in Kentucky. Of some concern is the fescue related digestive issues.

I've enjoyed all the comments. I really didn't expect such good commentary. thanks. I will consider all advise.

several friends an coworkers have said I should shoot the llama, but it was my ignorance that caused the problem, not the llamas. My brother has all the cows and calves now. My six strand fence will be completed in a few days. I may get the female llama a male companion and a separate area to...
