[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 664061, member: 852"] TBL -- I hope the treatment works. I'll start tomorrow, I've had 2 vets opinions on her and will probably go 10 days apart X 3 treatments and then do a 4th treatment a month later. Have to take her over to the clinic; I can run the IV but that cow needs a good chute and a twitch, and I don't have either at home. Portalesman -- I have to disagree with you there. As long as a calf isn't underfed and potbellied, I've seen enough buyers at the auction and folks on here who can't recognize a half-Holstein calf; I can't see any reason anyone would pick out a 1/4 Hol calf that otherwise looks like a beef calf. Had a group of Hol/Angus steers some years ago that sold at the top end of the beef prices at the auction (not dairy price). HD -- I'm not 100% certain, she's out of a grade Holstein cow on a dairy that runs herd bulls. This was her dam, first lactation: [img]http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n465/IdahoLabs/cow26resized.jpg[/img] I think I have a pic of (the cow I think is) her granddam, I can find it later if you're interested. Right now I need to walk that black cow down to the dairy to get milked. [/QUOTE]
