I haven't had the vet look at it but I did have the cow farrier out last Friday.  She has the "typical" twisted hoof and the wrapping around of the hoof under neath into the sole area.  I haven't read any information that says this condition occurs on the front - it only refers to the back. ...

My daughter's cow, age 4, has recently developed the condition of cork screw hoof -  on the front -  which seems to be unusual from the information which I have read.  Info says it mostly affects the rear hooves. Can steer planet folks give me information and advice on treatment of the condition...

I, too, am very sorry for your loss.  I have had two of my all time favorite cats snatched right out of our front yard in broad open daylight. We've tried shooting the sorry son of a guns but they are such sneaky and elusive animals. I certainly understand how mad you are.  Enjoy a cold one...

Daughter used this product on steer this past show season.  Worked great, affordable yet easy to handle (not messy like liquid supplements).  Just one recommendation -  once you start it, don't stop it, because their hair comes out like crazy.  Gator Mom

We are looking for a fall born steer for county project -  must be bred and calved in FL and must be private treaty - no auction.  Also looking for fall born heifer. If you are from FL and have calves available which meet above requirements, please contact me. Thanks so much.  Gator Mom

Dates for the GA Jr. Beef Futurity are July 15,16,17. D.T.

SKF, I know that we always attribute their on/off eating to climate changes in that  our winter weather is 70-80 degrees one day and 30 degrees the next.  However, perhaps that is just an assumption on our part.  I'd like to hear what calves do in other parts of the country where the weather is...

SKF, Maybe it's more of a Florida thing.  Our Fair not only requires a 2.25 pound per day but also requires .25 on back fat.  Deb

I think we also have a similar situation with the ripples and not getting a smooth finish.  Daughter's steer is weighing 1290 and we have 30 days to go.  Is 30 days enough time to get the desired smooth finish? I read the posts about barley.  Can someone give additional info on feeding the...

We have used Rocky on our 6 heifers. All were small and very easing calving except one bull calf which required an easy pull.  The calves have been tremendous in terms of bone structure and hair.  50% bull and 50% heifer calves. We have used him again this year on some of the second timers...

Where are you located and can you give more details about the bull?  Thanks. GM

Just thought I'd add a comment to the vet shortage.  Some universities have created special  slots for students interested in large animal vet medicine.  For those interested, they should do a complete search of the land grant colleges.  I'll bet they also come w/ scholarship monies as well.  GM

thanks for the info.  I have spoken w/ our vet but there's so many products on the market and would just like to understand more in depth.  But thank you again.

Just was wondering if  those of you who have been doing this for a long time  would share your  vaccination protocols.  It certainly would be a help to us newbies. Thank you. Gator Mom 

I thought I would share our purchase w/ you.  A couple of years ago, we decided to do the local shows + one or two several hours away.  So we bought a stock side horse trailer w/ the dressing/tack room.  It's perfect to store luggage, feed, etc. to keep dry as, the pickup doesn't have enough...

I've been to DC on several occasions strictly as a tourist w/ school groups, etc.  Here are some of what I think are the best:  Arlington The monuments - go during the day but don't miss an opportunity to see them all at night.  The lighting at night is phenomenal.  The War Memorials all leave...

I coordinate the awards for our county show and am looking for some really nice, reasonable satin banners with fringe. If anyone has had good experience with a manufacturer which produces quality awards & banners, would you please forward the website to me. Thanks much. Gator Mom

We live in Marion County, FL  and have an October born steer which is very nice.  If interested, please call 352-843-1876.  Priced at $1200.  dt

I too seem to be having a problem.  Since we haven't experienced this issue before, I could use a little info.  We poured Cydectin two weeks ago with almost no results, of course on our best heifer.  How soon is too soon to treat with another product?  I am under the assumption that Cydectin...
