I will see what I can do. I am the world's worst at analyzing my own calves. I will shoot some more photos in a few days (I have baby duty this weekend, mama and mother-in-law are shopping).

When I turned 16, my parents told me it was time to go to shows by myself. I went to the NJAS in KC by myself when I was 17 for a full week. I am not saying that is right either, but I sure learned a lot of life lessons about how to make it alone. We made a ton of mistakes, but guess who had to...

All are already tested AM and NH free, except the steer. I don't think we need to test him  ;) Just looking to see whether the heifers could compete, and whether the steer has the power to compete in an angus class. I am working on the camera skills. I have been an underwater photographer for 4...

Finally, a 2/1 heifer out of Image Maker and by a first calf heifer out of the same White Oak Precise son as the steer calf. Please give me your honest opinions. You won't hurt my feelings ;) Thanks!

The second is a 2/17 heifer out of Connealy Power One and a Midland dam

The first is a 2/28 steer out of a White Oak Precise son and a granddaughter of Touchstone

Ditto on Richard Cox Manu. The feed king is a heck of feeder.

I wouldn't have expected that kind of a front on Currency. Thanks for the heads up, though. My Image Makers are a little "cowy", but I may still try it. I saw some really nice ET calves with that cross...

I, too, would like to hear what people think about Currency. I am planning on using him on Image Maker cows. I think that cross will be really nice...

Fine...agree to disagree on what I said. Don't use bute. Fair enough?  Sheesh. I officially want to flush this day right down the crapper.

DL, you will note that I told them to do nothing except call the vet. A vet would most likely advise not to give anything, but you could give bute or banamine if it were called for. Careful about reading too much into my response.

bute or banamine...but you might just give it some time. Call your vet.

I like either excede, penicillin, an eye patch with a puffer, and re-treat in 6-7 days. Draxxin works better than excenel, but it is expensive. Prevention is a multi-pronged approach. Clip pastures, control flies, and vaccinate as late as possible. We vaccinated on 6/12 this year. I like...

Good point, to identify foot rot get down and smell the foot. You will know if it is foot rot. If it doesn't smell and there is no necrosis, then it is probably a stifle issue. Last year I had a 7 year old bull and a 12 year old cow go down in a breeding injury gone wrong. If I hadn't seen it...

Sounds like foot rot. I would get her up and give her a dose of excede, penicillin, and enough sulfa pills for her weight. I would also put a healthy dose of bentadine or kopertox on the foot, and try to get a hoof pick in there to discard any dead tissue. If she is not better in 5-6 days, I...

bump...would like to move this if possible.

We have a good set of portable paul livestock scales for sale. They work great and are in good shape. We are moving to a set of digital loadbars, otherwise we would still be using them. These would be great for a new purebred breeder or to set up in a show barn. PM for price, etc. We are just...
