[QUOTE="LauraleesFarm, post: 1001040, member: 14261"] What is your vaccination program? Are there any other cattle in bordering pastures? There are any number of diseases which could have played a role in your losses, which would be covered by vaccination. As mentioned before, a deworming program is also essential. I have come to the point where I do not want any more ponds and creeks. I think that they cause more problems than they are worth for the smaller ranch such as mine. Many diseases can lurk in the ponds, some of those only have to enter the skin thru a small cut. I would put out the lick tubs. Also, it seems that it would be more effective to feed more frequently than once a week, if you are trying to put on condition. I would attempt to separate the nursing cows and the thin cows and feed them separately on a daily basis, at the rate of 5# per head, at least a 20% cube. I don't know much about fescue but have read that it causes problems ....maybe someone else more familiar with fescue can chime in. [/QUOTE]
