Hi everyone, we have an 11-day old PB Herf heifer out of Cash Flow that we are trying to get her tendons to relax. we have tried splints made out of PVC pipe cut lengthwise and secured with vet wrap along with a three day stint of Oxytetracycline per our vet. Anyone else have other ideas? This...

This is our first calf on the ground for the year. A hefty bull calf sired by General Lee, out of a Heatwave cow. Hope y'all enjoy him!

My husband and I are just getting started on moving our cattle to our own place. If judgement serves me right, we should have separate grain rations for calves and cows, due to the purposes needing to be different. Anyone have any suggestions on a home made ration for calves that are getting...

How about hotels? Where is a good, reasonably priced place to stay and in a good neighborhood? We are from Ohio, know very little about Denver.

Ok, so my husband is thinking of taking me to NWSS for our anniversary. We have never been there before. We went to Louisville to show a heifer while we were dating, but this Denver trip is just going to be to see what its like. So I was wondering what Denver is like...are the bulls always on...

Where to begin....summer and winter pastures are flooded. Had cows in the winter pasture waiting for a county fair exhibit in a few weeks. Multiple trees fell on fence, they got out, my brother and I were out in the wind and rain putting them in the other pasture. Lost trees along the creek...

Alright everyone, I need opinions on the best whitener on the market. We have two Hereford females in need of some good baths. What is is the best whitener?

Alright...this seems weird, but I'll throw it out. Our farm, along with a friend who has cattle about fifteen minutes from us, feel like our cows are holding out on us for some reason. We've had cows bagging and backends stretched for almost a month now. We AI'd a handful, no one caught, and...

My husband and I bought a six year old Hereford cow (HF 4L Beyond X THM 8027 Vicky 1026) with a three week old heifer calf at side a few weeks ago. She is a good cow, nice udder, good flank, and good bone. Stride is good, flat back. Was shown when she was younger. The heifer calf at side is a...

I have to agree. As a mid-20s cattle raising individual, I never went a year in 4-H where I didn't have tears in my eyes as I put my steer on the trailer when the fair was over with. It always felt like the end of a chapter that I had spent a year of my life in. No matter that I had done it...

Alright, so first off...We had to put a cow down this fall after we found out she had Johnes. She was not born on our farm, so our vet said it is very likely she had it when we purchased her a few years ago. We were fortunate enough to have two daughters out of her, and they both along with the...

Livestock trailer Just looking for a livestock trailer. Prefer at least a 20ft gooseneck, and no longer than 24ft long. Will consider metal or aluminum. Thanks! More Information

Alright folks, today we just finished up our third round of vaccines (out of 4) for Anaplasmosis. We had a cow that got ill in late August. We thought it was just her rumen and of course had the vet come out to check her. The vet said we just needed to get her re-hydrated and get her to eat and...

Hi there, I'm looking for show equipment in good to excellent shape. Please let me know what you have. Thanks!
