Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been on a lot lately, my previous hard drive decided to pull a Wicked Witch of the West and melt.
Anyway, we got a bull calf for meat. We were supposed to get two, but the guy turned out to be a (word not allowed by moderators) and sold one out from under us for more money, saying 'it died from heatstroke'. It was hot around here, but not that hot.
Anyway, he's on a bottle right now and we're working on getting him some buddies. Anyway, another (better) gentleman pointed out this guy is not very good, told us to give the new calf 1cc of penicilin for three days to keep him from getting pnemounia (it's been wet and rainy lately) and after opening the airhole on a nipple for the bottle, an old horse blanket to keep him warm, he's doing good and making good cowpies.
On a quick side note, this is after a long history of deacon calves from auction. :roll:
Anyway, the other gentleman told us according to the eartag and hepatitus test/tag thingy, he's purebred and might be registrable.
From all I've heard, Jersey bulls are mean and hard to handle. We're going to raise this one with lots of handling and buddies, not seperated. Is there any good stories of Jersey bulls?
