It is very possibly just congestion in the udder and it will go away in a few weeks time. Congested udders usually do give milk tho, so it sounds like she may have CAE in which there is no fix.

I am looking for suggestions for an outdoor wedding. I have lumber to build trellis's and arbors and am looking for a vigorous vine or climber that blooms the first year. Color isn't terribly important, but would prefer peach, pink, or white. Morning Glories are at the bottom of my list. Any...

nope, i'm sure it's a rupture. I fell in love with this kid that was trying to sell her, my heart just went out to him. He had given me kinda sketchy directions to his house, I pass it and then pull over and call him. He says " I will stand outside with her and you can't miss me cause i'm...

yes, it is the naval area.

I went to look at a Holstein heifer today, she is a year old and a real nice calf. They didn't tell me she was ruptured or I wouldn't have went but it got me wondering how in depth it was to fix. Do people have them fixed or do they cull them at a younger age? It is about the size of a...

Hello all, I have a 16 year old Morgan cross that used to be ridden often before the kids outgrew him. Now they are on to other things. He is in the pasture with about 16 Brown Swiss cows. In the past two years, I have noticed he has assumed the role of the babysitter for the new calves. I...

If you have a holstein with all 4 feet black, you can just about bet there it isn't 100% dairy. And it IS in the rule book. Putnam County 4-H fairbook, all dairy steers must be 100% dairly blood. If I breed a swiss heifer to an angus, there are dead giveaway's on the calf to tell of it...

LOl well i can also post our local fair rules, just didn't have them handy. We do follow the state fair rules in that regard, all dairy steers must be 100% dairy blood. I have never shown or been involved in the beef barn so I don't know if they allow dairy/beef crosses in thier crossbred...

go to this website www.in.gov/statefair/fair/contests/files/dept403(r2).pdf This is the Indiana State fair rule book. Says for both market and feeders, must be 100% dairy blood. I never said purebred.

You showed in 40 counties?? Here in Indiana, you can only show in one for 4'H. It doesn't have to be the one you live in, but it can only be one.

sure can, I will do it as soon as I locate one. It does't say purebred tho, it says it must be 100% dairy. Can be a cross between any dairy breed. So your dairy beef show allows beef breeds, or beef crossbreds?? Now that's something I'v never seen, otherwise it wouldn't be a dairy beef show ;)

yes, we have two separate barns, one dairy and one beef. They don't show together or even on the same day. All steers in the dairy barn must be 100% dairy. Our weight rules are also different, 750# and under is a feeder and they are allowed in the auction.

We took our steers in to the county fair yesterday and I noticed a holstein feeder there, correction, it's a maine cross I know it is. Now I didn' t bring any feeders this year so I'm not just being a poor sport. I hate it when people cheat! That is a dairy barn and why is 4-H so important to...

she looks like a saanen or a saanen cross. anytime any feed says for sheep or goats, there isn't enough copper in it for goats. goats need an amount( to maintain healthy feet ) on a level that is toxic to sheep. I would feed her slowly, lots of roughage first. deworm her and if there is milk...

She is a little on the thin side but i don't think she looks horrible either. It shouldn't be too difficult to bring her up a bit, esp if you dry her off quickly and get the parasites under control ( if that's an issue ) Pretty girl :)

If she is in milk, dry her off. Deworm her and repeat in 21 days. Offer all the hay she will eat and start slowly with grain, twice a day. Dont let her eat all she wants of the grain. It is almost impossible to condition a doe in milk, esp a heavy milker. More than likely she is bred back...

yesterday morning I put the calf up to her and after some practice he got the hang of it. This morning I could tell he had been nursing off of her during the night, but when he see's me he still jumps up and comes to me :P I turned them out this morning.

If I was going to have a full time milk cow, this one would be it! First freshener, stands rock still and calmly eats. Almost 4 gal per milking, long teats with large orifices so milking is super super easy. She stands like she's been milked all her life. What a wonderful cow :lol:

The calf is up and walking!

two things come to my mind. Have her checked for CL. You will want to get on top of this before the hair fall off of it and it bursts, as then it's contagious. CL is harmless to humans, but you will have a very hard time selling kids with a CL positive herd. We immediately culled any...
