    Crazy Heifer

    I have a heifer who I’ve shown three times now and she was one of the easiest out of the group to halterbreak, showed awesome at her first show, and then she started getting really bad. Takes off, always pulling on you when walking her, pretty much always trying to take off if you’re not...

    Melatonin

    I’m hoping to give my steers on melatonin to help grow their hair. Our final show is our county fair where they get loaded on the truck right after. Does melatonin have a withdrawal time?

    Scours

    I’ll definitely keep that in mind for next time!! We’ve done it with lambs before. Turns out if he’s eating just hay he gets super bad scours. And if he’s eating a bunch of grain he’s fine. Doesn’t make sense at all but whatever works I guess 🤣

    Deformed Back Legs?

    It’s not letting me upload any pictures. She’s 8-9 months old now, she’s 97% straight and has been doing great. I was gonna show her, but when she was kept up in a pen her legs started getting wonky again, so now she’s just chilling out with the other heifers we’re keeping back. We’re pretty...

    Deformed Back Legs?

    All of my cows are tested for TH, PHA, and DS. And if we don’t have results before breeding I only breed them to something triple clean. I keep meaning to send off blood on this specific calf to see if she is indeed DS positive or not.

    Scours

    He’s been doing great and doesn’t seem sick at all but we just can’t get rid of these scours. We’ve been giving him some Synurgy by Umbarger and that helps quite a bit and then by when we feed him again he’s back to having bad scours. Vets just said to take him off grain for 5 days, which we...

    Scours

    I have a February born steer who got pretty good scours. I took him off the little bit of grain he was getting and he’s been getting just hay for the last 4 days. I’ve gave him pro bios. And some other probiotics but he hasn’t improved at all, and maybe even gotten worse. What can I do to get...

    What Color is This Calf?

    Had this heifer calf born last night, and none of us can decide what color to call her. What color do y'all think she is? Both mom and dad are Orange Roans

    Overdue Recip

    That’s what worry about with her. Especially with how big the bull calf was that was only 1 day overdue. What did you use to induce?

    Overdue Recip

    I have 3 conventional embryo transfer calves this year. They were all due on March 14th. We had one born on the 11th, a heifer, 90lbs. The second one was born the 15th. He was at least 110 and had to be pulled and did not come out easy to say the least. The third Recip still hasn't calved. I...

    Deformed Back Legs?

    We’ve never had a DS before so I don’t know what DS looks like. But it’s possible…

    Deformed Back Legs?

    Anyone have experience with deformed back legs? This heifer was born late last night. We had to bring her in cause she got so cold, tubed her and she warmed up after a while and was super alert. Standing, trying to walk around. Her hocks pretty much bend the wrong way, one is way worse than the...
