I'll find out more tomorrow as he has two cows he wants me to give shots of LA 300. He consulted the Vet and this is what they said to do, something about the cows hooves or something. As far as the blood test goes, do we need to draw the blood and take it to the Vet I assume? How do we transport the blood?
Hey BSE, I still have your knife you left with me by accident if you PM me your address I'll mail it to you.
He's been doing this as a hobby for about 15 years. Another friend of mine sold him a bull about 5 years ago, then we moved to his area 16 months ago. I've been helping him whenever can and talking to him about changing some things if he wants to. He keeps the bull in yr. round and holds onto cows to long sometimes. This cow has already gone 3 months too long, I think she needs to go and he needs to shoot for a tighter calving window by obviously not leaving the bull in yr. round. He's a real good guy and I just enjoy helping him. I wish he would let me have some cows with his but that's a touchy subject and I haven't felt like there has been a time to bring that up.
He has 60 acres of flat, river bottom grass in very good condition as he keeps it up and takes good care of it. It's cross fenced into 3 sections all about 20 acres. If he wanted he could add 10-15 more cows easy as they can't even make a dent in the grass now. But it's his land and I'm not going to try and push him into something, I'll occasionally throw out hints but that's it at this point.
