That can depend on how quickly it was caught. The big thing is get him up and moving. It will help his digestive system. If you can get baking soda in him then that will help dispel the gas. Also get some probiotics in him too.
We saw both heifers two years ago get rode as calves that fall. We gave a shot of lute about 3 to 5 days later. Neither calved in the following spring. Neither also got bred by the bull as yearlings and were declared open by a vet.
This last fall, we saw another heifer calf being rode by the...
I hope you all are right and both got rode at night because we're checking ever 2 hrs from 5:30am until 8:00pm to see who is cycling and writing it down. When we check were checking for rubbed out tail hair and mud on the hips that coincide with being rode. It has been really muddy here.
Thanks again. I'm just scratching my head and the only common denominator amongst the 4 heifers (two from two years ago and the two in question now) is they all got a shot of lute around 3 to 5 days after possibility getting bred as a calf. We'll preg check these two in Sept and hopefully...
We have not preg checked the heifer yet. We gave the lute to the one heifer right after she was covered by the bull. We also come to think of it, gave lute to another heifer as a calf last fall because we expected the bull covered her. Neither have been ridden by the bull that we have seen. The...
Last fall, we saw a heifer calf get bred by the bull so we gave her a shot of lute. Now that she's a yearling and in with the heifer bull, she won't cycle and does not appear to have been rode. Twice before, we luted a heifer for the same reason and both heifers never bred up as a yearling. Did...
IMO, I would consider No Worries or Daddy's Money over I-80. I-80 has had some pretty good heifers but his steers lack in power and bone. You have a pretty nice heifer. She looks sound and her feet all point in the same direction. Looks like she is good enough fronted too. I would even...
Daddy's Money, No Worries, I-67, Last Stand, I-80, Ali, Rumor Mill, Jose, After Hours, Dirty Harry, Jesse James, gosh the list goes on and on. Now some would work for first calf heifers in a lot of programs but not all programs.
I think we are going to try Business Done Right. We tried Italian Stallion, I67, Young Money and Final Cut. The results ended up being the same. We figured after much thought and debate that a moderate southern type bull just might work on this one particular cow. Now if she'll just stick AI.
After discussing the Bull Talk it got me thinking of what genetic lines have the longevity, productive, milking ability, breed back ability, etc etc. Any and all breeds. I'm talking about lines that have stood the test of time and not from a bull that just burst into the scene a year ago...
