Ok, thanks peeps. She is a meat cow so she will be dinner at some point. My hubby wants sooner, I would like to wait til she gets a bit bigger. Fortunately that behaviour has stopped.... until her next cycle.
Hey everyone, my 15 month Brangus heifer is obviously in heat, she is trying to mount my Shire mare. While it is a bit humorous, the horse isn't laughing. My husband says time to butcher her. I think she's a bit on the small side yet, but she is really getting obnoxious with her behaviour. She...
One week ago a breeder I know had to put down her beautiful shire mare from founder. She had a 6 week old colt at her side. Maybe I'm loopy, but I said yes, I'll take him. Fortunately, they knew this was coming and had already pail trained him. He slurps Mare's Milk Plus foal milk replacement...
I have a 6 week old Drum foal (colt) that lost his dam to founder on thursday. The little guy easily pail trained to foal milk replacer and foal milk pellets. He seems to be thriving, gaining weight, curious, everything you want in a foal. I have read so much conflicting information about when...

m.holloway.... I saw your post just now about being from florida. Not sure where Inverness is. I live about 45 miles east of Ocala, I saw the Fl swaps and such but have never been able to make it do to work schedule. I sincerely hope I get to meet up with you someday around our chicken and cow...
yes, it is indicated for conjunctivitis (pink eye) . Now just how am I going to get this in her eye? She is just barely letting me touch her nose, she actually followed me around the field today, so I think we are making progress. :)
If my dh and I rope her to catch her, are we going to scare...
the blue spot was definitely cloudy, looked opaque maybe. I took several pictures but it didn't seem to show up in it. I'll try again.
Well, she at least got up real close to me for the cookies. I was thoroughly sniffed. The really funny part was my BR roo had to come out and check what I was...
hey guys, I was sitting in the pasture today feeding oatmeal cookies to my new calf and I noticed her right eye has a blue area onin it. It almost looks like a cataract starting or something. It is not something like a foreign object, it appears to be intrinsic in the eye. It is about the size...

Too cute for words. muahhhh.

I was reading up on vet care etc. There are so many cattle vaccines available, many I have seen at TSC or a local feedstore here. Which vaccines are the Must Haves? Which Vaccines are to be avoided when the animal is for consumption? Do you give your own Vaccines? I am an RN with access and...
