    Apple cider vinegar

    Elk We have used it and found it to work. We pour it over the back about same as pouring fly/lice treatment on them. It doesn’t end fighting but certainly cut it down.

    Update on the steer tonight was the awards banquet E won champion carcass with the steer so I guess it didn’t set the calf back to bad. They award a 500.00 prize for top carcass so that sure helped offset the cost of the surgery. Needless to say GG was happy that she did so well and thankful...

    Well they weighed the calf in for the show today official weight 1350. He looks pretty dang good had healed up really well. I’m sure the Surgery set him back some but Jacob had hoped for a finish weight of 1350 and that was his exact weight. They only have 10 or 11 calves in the show looking...

    SOB he would have been dead before we could have got him to a processor this way we still salvage the steer we certainly take a hit but not a complete loss but we won’t have to bury him. Had this not been one of the girls show calves chances are we would have found him dead in the pasture. The...

    I have said many times when you think you have things sorta figu out with cattle they will teach you just how wrong you are. Jacob and E went to get her show steer out after church yesterday and Jacob said the calf just wasn’t acting right. He watched him for awhile and couldn’t figure out...

    Learned something new

    The vet was here doing BSE on the long yearlings we had one when he checked Scrotal he said ut oh which is never something you want to hear the vet say. Then said oh it’s ok he just has mastitis which of course I have seen in cows just had no idea a bull could get it. He lanced it drained it...

    First Calf Heifers

    This IS the roughest year this cow will have, she is still growing, trying to grow a calf and trying to cycle in order to breed back. If you provide her with the tools she needs to get all these jobs accomplished ie mineral, hay/grass and some type of feed she should be able to get bred back in...
