To get a cow to take a magnet you have to shove it down their throat. Using a cattle pill gun aka a bolus gun with the magnet and tip lubed up with vaseline works well.
that was my thought, but she should be scouring.Lazy M":1wklg9m5 said:At this point, hardware is the best case scenario. Better get her tested for johnies..

you don't have to have a shoot to work cattle. I have worked a bunch in my younger days with a snubbin post and a rope and a lot of them were Brahman /Brahman cross. don't like it but it can be done.angus9259":3lf63pa2 said:I haven't re-read the whole thread but - dumb question - have you had a vet out?
BTW - before you own cattle you should have a way to work them. I did it the other way around - got cattle before I had a way to work them. It's not good for man/woman nor beast.

I was advised by my vet to co-administer LA300 and Nuflor, for a cow with an infection previously, and felt I didn't have a lot to lose.
She is eating hay rather well, a complete mystery to me, how she can pass up sweet feed that looks and smells good enough to me that I think I could put some milk on it and eat for breakfast...
