I recently purchased three steers from out west and brought them down to Florida. Since then, the calves have had runny noses and a cough. I vaccinated them with 8-way black leg and triangle four even though the seller said the fella he got them from said he had already done that. I have been...
Don't know Tx. From what I understand, the steer died a week or so after the show. The state did an autopsy and found out that it had rabbies. Then they back tracked with the owners to find out where it was stalled and tied out while at the show and contacted everyone that may have been in...
Were about an hour and ten minutes south of russ' place. We take our calves to him to get their hooves trimmed and he takes care of most of my A.I. needs. He's pretty good people.
Hey Shortdawg, I'm just off I-75 once you get thru Tampa. Were having a little get together and cooking some bar b q pork. If your interested, let me know.(I'll teach you how to cook like a gator)

What will you be showing? My daughter will be showing a steer(850 lbs) and two heifers. If gas prices dont let up, this may be our last year for this show.
We have a nice Dr. Who heifer that has that brown tint mixed into her black hair. I plan to dye her black again this weekend. Problem is......she has four white socks. If I used vet wrap to cover the white during the spray process, and then make sure she is completely dry before I rinse her off...
