Anyone have any heifers off of Exar Upshot?  I have seen reports about bulls from him but wondered what his heifer calves turn out like?  Looking for something with some show appeal.

Have your vet check her hormone levels.  An early drop in progesterone can lead to early labour.  If she has done this repeatedly she may need to be supplemented.  It is worth discussing with your veterinarian.

Hope she comes along fine for you.  You say she is due in 1 month - just keep a close eye on her at that time in the event that she has had some injury to pelvis or spine or nerve inflammation.  If she is doing well in a few weeks she should be fine to calve out but best to keep a close eye -...

Sure! Best treated with Penicillin. Check out http://www.cattle.com/articles/title/Foot+Rot.aspx

Sorry to hear your son had to sell his heifer.  You do vaccinate for lepto eh?

We've used www.picmonkey.com  It's free and can do some basic edits for you.  Kinda fun to play with!  Upgrade is available for a small fee. 

Did she have a magnet in her?  The cost of a magnet to prevent hardware is a small price compared to losing an animal (or 2 in your case)...

so many people don't 'rinse' properly.....yes rinse down entire animal but concentrate cold water on neck/heart area (where all the major veins & arteries are) hence cooling the animal - ideally you want to drop body temp a few degrees to chill them....we will run ice cold water on the neck...

An old-timer I used to show for always cut off numerous ones then rubbed them hard back into the cut area (stimulate an immune response).....I have continued to do this then chop them up fine and mix them in with some grain and feed them back to them....Or cut off a bunch from the non-show...

Well this could potentially be much worse than just an infected ear.  A culture has been sent to the lab today to determine if we are dealing with Mycoplasma bovis.  Pending those results we may need to look into BVD in the herd also.  The heifer has developed bilateral nasal and ocular...

We have an 8 month old heifer with an ear infection.  Noticed this evening with 1 ear droopy and a purulent discharge seeping from ear.  Got her into the chute and was able to clean the ear out and clip the long hair in and around her ear to let some air get at it.  Being the long weekend having...

Thanks Cowboy Nyk - I appreciate your comments.... (clapping)

Yes I have viewed the video of him and checked his EPD's but I just wondered if anyone had any comments about his calves from personal experience....Considering some embryos by him...

Wondered if anyone had any comments about calves off SOO LINE GRIZZLEY 9034?  Either from a commercial or show standpoint.

Looking for comments on supplementing with the likes of Showbloom or Oxy-Gen or others for the show string.  On 'ShowStopper' currently along with pasture/hay.  Are the ads just a bunch of 'hog-wash' or are those products worth the extra $ to promote haircoat/appetite/bloom???

Never hurts to put a magnet in her.....as my vet always says "they should all be born with a magnet"....sometimes it's a real cheap way to save a lot of grief!  Good luck with her!
