    Is it possible......

    Or, instead of criticizing you, maybe some more ideas would be more helpful? Try making her walk backwards (after untying her from the truck). It is harder for them to plant themselves and not budge.  Also lead her in tight circles in each direction. Again pulling in a way that she can not...

    Strange Scenario...

    "The main question at hand was why a heifer would be showing NO signs of being the slightest bit ready to calve...no swelling of the vulva, no udder, nuthing" Because she was NOT READY TO CALVE. Now the heifer may be shipped because she was induced before she began to dialate. It is assumed...

    Defect or just tough luck?

    May be white muscle disease.  try selenium.  We had one just like that and I was told that was what it was.  The cow stepped on the calf and broke one of its front legs before we could see if the BO-SE would work.

    What's Up with Iowa State Police??

    I asked the DOT officer if they were concerned about the revenue they would lose by people avoiding Iowa.  He said "No, we don't care about that."

    What's Up with Iowa State Police??

    A neighbor had this happen a few years back, so I called to check to see what I needed to avoid any trouble.  The Iowa DOT said you must have a DOT #, flares, fire extinguisher, your truck and trailer tested, and a health card.  At that time if you didn't have any of these the fine was $1600.  I...

    Nutt-N-Butt Business

    Synchronize Estrus for AIing

    That's what I am saying, 10% is pitiful.  We get 80% or better on cows that show a heat, 10% on cows time bred because they didn't show a heat.  On your 4 you are out $100, but if I do it the way you are I would be out well over $1000.  The nice thing about synchronizing is the ability to make...

    Synchronize Estrus for AIing

    We used the 5 day program last year on a small group of cows, two shots of lut 12 hours apart.  Seemed to get more action out of the cows.  Around here we don't time breed anything anymore.  We kept track of the cows that were time bred, compared to the cows that stood.  It turned out to be less...
