Thanks! I'll do some research on beefmasters. How are beefmaster bulls? that was the great thing about our Angus bulls, I rode them when I was little they were so sweet.

Beef. We've always had red Angus cattle before this and we've done really well with them but kinda want something different, maybe with some more personality this time.

Bo died at about 5am this morning. He got to the point where he wouldn't even lift his head when I walked over, he would just cut his eyes up at me. When I sat down beside him, he'd heave-ho his head over onto my lap, but that was all he could manage. His eyes glassed over. I knew at that...

Here's the baby, just in case anyone wanted to see him. Yes, that is a dog collar around his neck, lol. His fever's down to 103.5 now, and seems to be pretty steadily coming down. The vet told us to dissolve an aspirin into about a teaspoon of water and give it to him by mouth, and that seems...

I'm never, ever saying that he's on the road to recovery ever again because it seems to encourage disaster, lol. The vet is on his way back out again. Baby cow is having trouble standing, now has snot coming out of his nose, can't nurse well. He just wants to lie down with his head in my lap...

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly! I've been hanging out hoping that someone would come online. Okay, so he's not drinking nearly enough! I'll start working at it a little harder. I'm just afraid he'll aspirate the formula. I've had time to check out your profile info too. Do...

I've become the accidental mommy to a 3 day old calf. His mommy belongs to our next door neighbors, who own about 100 head of cattle. She never stood back up after she had her calf and, after 3 days, they have euthanized her. On day 2, I ran out to Tractor Supply for a bottle and milk...
