    Need working facility

    Some good advice on working facilities being given here. To go with the new facilities, introducing the cattle to the facilities from a young age and training them so they know what is expected of them goes a long way to helping make what you have work. Put them through a few times just to weigh...

    Replacement females???

    Out of curiosity how often do people see proven examples of the genetic defects AM, NH and the rest these days. I want proven examples as weak calves with problems can be also caused by the likes of BVD. I know Travlr is quick to jump on these and point the finger. Ken

    Need working facility

    As long as you are happy but I think as @Warren Allison alluded to, I think the dealer would be happier. Your poor wife, she came out to help you load thinking that the money for these calves might be put to good use, now you have a new trailer to pay for and you haven't even started on the new...

    Replacement females???

    These are your words @Warren Allison . If that doesn't suggest he would like to get another year or two out of his bull then I don't know what. @Travlr was the one who brought Angus and Precision into the discussion, he digs this up all the time. I have no interest in discussing the rights or...

    Replacement females???

    Travlr, I think you and Warren are the ones that don't get it, this is about just being practical, it has been done for eternity to get extra years out of a bull and people will be doing long after you have gone. You milk and flog the subject and then turn it over and flog the other side all...

    Replacement females???

    Travlr, what makes you think that there are more genetic defects around today than there were 50 years ago? The difference now is that they can be identified and something can be done about them. I have pathology text books from 50 years ago that are full of defects that we now recognize as...

    Tetanus

    Things have gone crazy here with tetanus vaccines, of course for cattle the tetanus is included in our clostridial vaccine. but if you want the individual vaccines for horses Zoetus is the only one that supplies it at $32.60 for TT and $69.00 for TAT and that is my wholesale price, correct me if...

    The first dwarf

    Travlr just doesn't like to miss any opportunity to implicate Angus. Ken

    Replacement females???

    I have smaller numbers so a %age would not be relevant. I synchronise for 1 round of AI and then 1 round with the bull which would fall 21 days after AI and I think 20-22% would be a realistic figure. I do leave the bull in for a 2nd shot at them and sell these PTIC so I know that there will...

    Help

    Xrays are just 2 dimensional, a dislocation of the hip can often look normal on one view as the ball can overlay where it is supposed to be on one view and appear normal. It seems to be acutely lame in that rt leg so looks to me like a major injury but I am looking from the other side of the...

    Help

    How old is it? How long has it been like this. Dislocated hip or high up fracture are things I'd be thinking about. Can you tip it onto its back and stretch the legs out the back and compare the lengths? Ken
