    Strawberry Foot

    I am not 100% on if this is what the disease/infection actually is, but if so, I am in need of some help! We noticed that my yearling has been standing a funny and lying down almost all day, so we decided that we should get her checked out. We were getting some of our animals hooves trimmed and ...

    Breeding heatwave daughters

    So I realize this question has been asked a bunch of times on here, but when I search for answers I find nothing. If anyone out there has any insight as to what works the best, I would love to hear it. We bred ours to rocky balboa and had solid results. We bred her back to WMW so we will see how...

    bloating

    We turned our cows out to pasture 3 weeks ago, and every year one of our cows gets very bloated. It normally goes away after a few days but this year it is lasting loner then usual. Should I be worried and is there anything we can do for her?

    Sick Heifer?

We think that she was just really dehydrated. Her manure is fine now but she has a bit of a snotty nose and is...

    Hurricane Earl

    Well, it looks like the hurricane brought more bad luck then weather where I live. Yesterday I checked my heatwave heifer that I have been anxiously been waiting for to calve. Her udder was big but didn't have that big popped look. So I figured that she didn't need to go into the barn for a...

    Heatwave heifer

    So I told myself for the longest time that I wold never do it, but I gave in and decided to give it a try. I bred my heatwave heifer to an Ali x WMW bull that is known for small calves that grow like weeds. We don't have an exact date on her because I showed her at the royal and when we took her...

    question

    How long do you keep your newborns and mothers in before letting them go to pasture. Do you even keep them in while calving. I ask because we recently calved a heifer out. We normally say no to calving heifers just because we have had some rotten luck but she was a keeper. She calved friday and...

    Calf's back legs weak

    What causes the back legs to not be strong enough to hold the calf. We had a calf last night and his legs are knuckling. We are going to put splints on them and seems to work well, but I dont understand why this happens. Thanks
