My 24 mo. old heifer is due to calve in a month. I am looking for a 2 gal. pasteurizer, a milk strainer, and stainless steel pails to purchase. Please let me know if you have any hanging around. Thanks.

Yesterday my heifer (due in Aug.) got to a pine tree. I saw her right away and she had only a nibble of of few leaves and maybe part of one small branch. I was grateful that Dun addressed that if the cow is well fed then limited pine tree ingestion shouldn't cause a problem. My gal gets...

I bought a magnet for my gal. Should I attempt to get it in her or let the vet? I've never put a magnet in a cow before, so I would also need some directions. My heifer is very bonded to me, no fear issues, halter broke, but I don't know how she'd react to a magnet being shoved down her...
