I buy my hog and cattle feed there (actually the same thing I feed 20% dairy pellets to both hogs and the cows). $16 a hundred is hard to beat . Their always willing to help and always ready if I have any questions.

I LOVE, love, love Southern States! For the reasons that trappersteve said. AND from time to time they have some pretty good sales.

They're about four miles from me. Buy most everything there. Another four miles to Tractor Supply. I don't do much with them.

Sky I think it was you that posted a pic of some feed in the bag from Southern States....main thing I noticed that I had never seen before was "Money Back Guarantee"...something to that affect. Had never seen that before on any feed company bag.

I love s.s. too. but they closed one about 20 miles from me. good prices and a wealth of knowledge from people who actually farmed. hated to see it go

If they stand behind it, that little bit of print on the bag is worth more than all the other advertising money can buy. If we had one around here I'd feel privileged to do business with them.

Sky, I am going to give you an opinion that you did not ask for but here goes.
You said you bought the LA200 because you were buying sale barn calves. LA200 will do nothing for sickness nor will it prevent any sickness. It is really good for foot problems and eye problems and not much else. It is for soft tissue issues.
Many people have a sick calf and give it LA200 and then wonder why it didnt get better. For what good it did they might as well have pulled a dose up and squirted it on the ground.

Great advice. I had read this before buying thinking I was doing something right.
Cattle: Liquamycin LA-200 is indicated in the treatment of pneumonia and shipping fever complex associated with Pasteurella spp. and Hemophilus spp.; infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (pinkeye) caused by Moraxella bovis; foot rot and diphtheria caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum; bacterial enteritis (scours) caused by Escherichia coli; wooden tongue caused by Actinobacillus lignieresii; leptospirosis caused by Leptospira pomona; and wound infections and acute metritis caused by strains of staphylococci and streptococci organisms sensitive to oxytetracycline.

You still done great. And I know what it says but ask Lucky_P, Milkmaid, and some of the smarter ones about this also. If all I have is LA to treat a sick calf I just leave it untreated until I can get something. But read my signature before you decide. hahaha

kenny is right you need names like Zactran, Draxin, Zuprevo, Resflor, Baytril, Excede. They will do a much better job on BRD.

Larry,
Do all of those require a prescription to get them? My vet got some choice words from me over that rabid calf so I do not have a vet now but since im buying from barn now I would like something to give them.

Yes they all take a prescription. At some point sky you're gonna have to get a new vet. At some point you will need these better medicines. Having a vet is becoming more important by the day.

I agree. I am searching for a new vet but unfortunately since my area is primarily crops and not livestock the options are limited. I guess until then I will have to shoot the dice and use what I got and have access too.

Vets that work for salebarns are good sources for prescription meds. get to know them may not be local for farm calls but good meds are worth the drive.
