    Body Clip or Not?

    I'm from Wisco also.  We use the Shedding comb by Sullivans or Weaver. It works GREAT!!!. We wash our steers and heifers at an outside washrack all thru the winter as long as it is over 25 degrees  and sunny.  Just make sure you get them COMPLETELY DRY.

    Heifer Twin

    There is a 10% chance she is fertile.  You can take a blood test also which is 100% accurate.  It costs about $60.00 for the test.  If she is good, the money spent is worth it.

    I think cow has lumpy jaw? Ship now or 3 months after hopefully calving?

      Remember, since you already gave her penicillin, you can not ship her for at least 30 days.

    Calving pen Bedding

    Chopped Oat Straw on the bottom and Long baled straw on top. Lots of it.  Chopped straw is very absorbant and the long straw makes a nice comfy bed and keeps calves warm.
