We had a bull get foot rot and since we were having a tough time getting rid of it he came and gave a shot a micotil. I would never give one because of the risks but it cleared it right up. Is he in a dry pen? I know in some areas it has been very wet. Personally I would have a vet take a look.

When I spoke with my friend last night she stated they were evaluating the rest of the cattle on a case by case basis. They have had 6 head in the last week test positive for drug residues and all of which were fair cattle. She did not say how many tested positive for zilmax. It's not hard to...

Health papers will work my husband hauls cattle for a lot of buyers and all he ever gets is health papers and if you get pulled over for dot inspection he's never even been asked for them. He's been doing it for ten years now.

About Time has been dead for 4-5 years now and his calves are still winning. I have seen some places with it priced higher.

True grit has an epd of 2 which isn't horrible for a Hereford but in my mind there are better options available for heifers.

If you just wanting commercial calves 3027 or sensation would be good choices also. We have used 3027 on heifers with no problems.

Some just are. Maybe have some kids come over and just be around her in a controlled environment. I have a two year old son that's always here and all old show heifers for cows and if he's with me choring I have 2 cows, one being the one that went everywhere, that will not come near me and I can...
