This is a shorthorn heifer we raised. What do you think of her? She is out of JPJ and a Surf SH cow. Jordan

I have a hereford heifer that I bought to experiment with. I have never messed with herefords before. From her papers attached below, what do you think of her breeding? Thanks! Jordan

FAKE??????

After talking to my vet, he is afraid to do too much because the cow is due to calf within the next month. He also believes that they most likely will come back. So, what do I do - calf her out and ship her when the calf is old enough to wean or spend some money and have him cut the corns out...

Thanks for the info! I will contact my vet and see if he will be able to tackle it.

This is the foot of a 4 year old brahman cow that we have.  We noticed she was moving slower than normal and found this "thing" growing out of her foot. What is it and can it be fixed?

Any way you can post a picture? It might be helpful.

We have a pen with a creep feeder in it. Normally our calves start eating creep at about a month old. By the time they are ready to be weaned, they are eating really well and have started to fill out. I think it is easier on the calves too.

It could be joint ill or navel ill. Did you iodine the navel after the calf was born? Is the calf nursing? Is it running any fever? It might need to be treated with antibiotics. You might want to talk to your vet if you are worried about the calf.  Good luck!

That is really tough. Sorry for your loss Austin :(

Very Nice! (clapping)

Just a note to my above post. The cow I was talking about never did bag up or dialate.  We did keep her and she had a perfectly normal heifer calf the following year.

We had the exact same scenario with one of our cows. She was AI'd and preg checked bred. Never exposed to a bull. She went 14 days over her due date. At 10 days the vet palpated and could not even feel the calf it was so far up. Could not detect a heartbeat. All but told us the calf was dead. We...

I have probably bought over 50 calves from the sale barn, BUT I usually buy the ones that are brought in as cow/calf pairs and they are split up in the ring because the cow is either a cheater mouth or has a broken mouth and they can't sell them as a pair. Normally we give them Nursemate ASAP...

I saw an advertisement in the Texas Farm Bureau publication for Wrangler Bermudagrass. Has anyone had any experience with it? If so, how was it - good, bad or indifferent?

Thanks to all of you that have expressed an interest in our steer. We sold him this afternoon. BS- this was our first Wildside calf. I would use him again. He had a low birth weight, and grew really fast. He does have some horn buds coming out the side. That and the fact that he wasn't clipped...

To all of you that have PM'd me regarding wanting to see this steer, thank you for your interest! I have someone coming to look at him this afternoon, so I will contact you personally to let you know if he is available. Thanks, again! BS - this is his momma's second calf. Her first calf was a...

Thanks BS. The calf next to him is a Gus heifer. She is 6 months old and he is 4 months. She is the one that I was posting about being in heat and he is the one that was jumping her!

Chambero- Thanks for the info. This steer was born 10/10/11 and weighs 500 pounds. I might try to post a picture so you can see what you think of him.

We live in Texas and raise a few shorthorn calves which we try to sell for show steers/heifers.  I have a Wildside steer that we are going to try to sell to one of the local 4-H's. We always try to price our calves very reasonably, being X 4-Her's ourselves. We are wondering, since so many...
