Basically the same here... 1/2 the fence with it being the "right side" on each owner's side...if it is a fence that is in use by both landowners for livestock... If a person does not want to have livestock against the fence... the other owner has to build it/maintain it... BUT.... the other...

One big question; don't know if you addressed this before...are you in a fence in or a fence out state or county? That might make a difference on how to handle it... And for pete's sake, don't turn that bull out until you make sure if you have insurance on your new bull, if it includes...

If the cow got staph or strep mastitis, then the calf may not have nursed because it would not taste good... if she got got something more serious like Klebsiella or coliform, the cow would have definitely been sicker, some will just lay around more if it isn't too bad, but they will mostly all...

She could have gotten mastitis, laying down alot might have meant she wasn't feeling good, mastitis could have been contracted from laying in a dirty spot where staph or strep could have been: just contact with a dirty spot on the ground that you never would have picked up on...and she might...

Hope you find some information on the usda website... it is pretty decent reading and they have several updates listed so not like reading "stupid propaganda"...as in anything, read and then make your own opinions... but I do go on there and try to get some of the latest info and then keep it in...

Go to aphis.usda.gov/livestock diseases.... you can find more information there on the "current" state of affairs with what the us govt is doing...

Heard an update that the HPAI that had been found in cattle and milk was rendered completely harmless in pasteurized milk. Studies had been done and that what partial particles could be detected were not able to carry this virus since they were not viable when pieces were put under a microscope...

Yes, all of those things MIGHT occur... but most show very little signs of that, and honestly, how many people see their beef cattle that often to notice those differences. Unless you see a cow that is "off" and then have a vet do a blood test ( I think that it can show up in blood... but...

I don't think it is being looked at in beef cattle because we do not see the same "drop in production" and loss of appetite as in dairy cattle, since it is very "observeable" since the obvious drop in milk is associated with drop in feed intake... How do you measure the drop in beef cattle...

If the vet is giving you the meds then it is on them if something should be "illegal"... Since you said she is a show heifer, then I would just leave well enough alone. Don't get too worried about the "not laying down"... she will if she gets to the point she needs to. She may be afraid of...

Heard a very short blurb on the radio this morning that the scare of the bird flu that was in several herds in different states,, has been studied under a couple tests, and it does NOT appear in the milk as originally speculated.......didn't manage to catch it all... anyone else heard anything?

And then there's @gcreekrch ... who does most everything but never got the dvm after his name....;)(y)(y)(y). We have quite a few vet practices within an hour of here... several within 20 miles or less. We use one that is an hour away... they are large animal only, I think there are 5 vets...

Sorry for the bad luck... that is a real b#@$h.... good for you to have insurance... with the way things are right now, that's a good chunk of money laying there... So glad that someone could get some use of the meat under the circumstances...

Definitely sounds like selenium deficiency....although might be more than that.... I think that @gcreekrch said that low selenium is a cause of eye problems also...

If you have him more than 2-4 days, it is very unlikely she will take him back... To make it easy on yourself and him... put him over a sq bale so his weight is not all on the front legs if they want to give out.... when you lift him and such... BoSe, B complex, and see... I think that a few...

Yeah, follow label directions on the LA.... since she is in, you are able to catch her to treat anyway...

The biggest difference in goat milk is it is naturally homogenized... which actually is supposed to make it more digestible. I know several people that raise calves on goats milk. I see no reason not to use it or to mix it with calf milk replacer...

Pinkeye has always responded to LA 2 or 300 for us... unless it is out to pasture and then we use Draxxin in the dart gun... she is in where you can get to her so I would stick with on oxytet... LA300....

LA200 or 300 SQ for the eye... as a precaution...like 1 cc since she is small... but she also should get some Vit A & D.... vit A is for the eyes and vit D helps with the absorption..... in fact, Multimin would be good since she is so little and it would boost her whole body systems... The...

I have used Land o Lakes and liked it very much. I use a brand now from my feed store that has BioMos in it and the calves seem to do even better..... as long as it is all milk and not soy based....
