How about - heat detection aids - ie kmar, estrotek etc? - heat detection pedometers (Northstar and others have a system) - sexed semen -  I'll keep thinking

FYI Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) President and CEO Wayne Pacelle has filed paperwork for election to Tyson Foods’ board of directors, according to an HSUS announcement. If elected, Pacelle would urge the company to commit to a definite time frame to phase out the use of sow...

Why would you put a diamond in a garbage can?

Glad you finally understand what some of us have been saying for about the past decade - hopefully at least one person will make a better decision based on your experience - thanks for posting ;)

Nice heifer - I like the 3rd picture for a Christmas card, the 2nd for the catalog and the 1st video - I didn't see the blond hair :)

My point is that (according to you) you are frustrated, it has been 3 months, the heifer is getting worse, the other heifers are getting worse, your patience is running thin - so what you have done and are doing is not working - time to step back and look at the big picture - is this really what...

No she isn't my heifer and I am not the cow police but sometimes we need to step back and look at what we are doing when animals are involved - yes M Rock there are animals that will never break to lead

Really?? I am almost speechless at this post - Have you considered the welfare of the heifer?? You are keeping her tied up all day and all night (an animal designed to graze), you have hooked her up to a truck, you have taken a herd animal and apparently separated her from herd mates and you are...

In addition to a chiropractor and perhaps accupuncture you might ask your vet about using Meloxicam vs Banamine - it is oral, provides good pain relief in cattle, and has a longer half life than Banamine - you might also ask him to rule out spinal lymphoma, abscess etc by doing some blood work...

I would start with a PHA negative cow

Jason - Nice - like it - thanks

Shorthorn Plus Heifer Kaisers Zelda Z6 This Shorthorn Plus heifer goes back to the Kumquat Family - Kumquat, the matriarch of the "Fruit Family" was Supreme Female in her only show and went on to be a productive long lived member of the herd (http://www.kaisercattle.com/cows/kumquat.htm). Zelda...

Twins that didn't divide - how is the cow?

Did your vet give you a plan?? ( he should have) Did he draw blood?? IMHO you need two things 1) a diagnosis - does the cow have an injury or a metabolic problem?? A good physical exam and some blood work can help you decide what the problem is - depending on the feed and mineral program she may...

JIT - 1) Take a picture of a Sparkle and look at it when you get the longing 2) Book your trip so you can go to the PBR - it's bovines but they buck and are boys 3) Drive out of the city - the scenery is beautiful 4) The city is one big concrete hunk with flashing lights and glitz - mentally...

Bet you smell like garlic, you can move like Mick and it drives the women crazy LOL

You are incorrect - DMSO is approved for use in horses - it is considered a drug and therefore using it in animals produced for food you MUST follow AMDUCA and ELDU. Lots of things work - doesn't mean they are right or legal or ethical - and while you  can buy nonmedical grade DMSO as a solvent...

Not legally - DMSO is considered a drug As a drug it is not approved for use in cattle As such you would need to follow all the rules and regs (search AMDUCA and ELDU - extra label drug use on sp)

PTR - thanks for doing this - if you are willing to send a sample from you Walks a lone heifer (same dam) that could be helpful :)

HOW TO SUBMIT SAMPLES FOR THE GENE HUNT IN A PERFECT WORLD YOU WOULD SUBMIT SAMPLES FROM CALF, SIRE AND DAM BUT IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE CALF THAT IS OK - YOU SHOULD STILL SUBMIT A SAMPLE FROM THE CALF ALSO NOTE - while hair samples are adequate for many things in adult cattle they are less than...
