Go to Tractor Supply. They have scour pills that will clear it up in three days. Mom always makes me give them one raw egg with the first couple tablets. She says it helps. So far so good. So I keep doing it. You must treat ASAp as mentioned one can get dehyrdrated quickly when they are young.

depends on what the cows look like. I have seen some pretty soft made deep sided monopoly cows. I am not a fan of walks alone. Carcass wise our walks alone have been outstanding. I was shocked. Do you have a couple pictures of the cows? I used maines back on those genetics it seems to work on...

We put creep out as soon as the calves start hitting the ground. They start nibbling and eventually they will start eating regular amounts. As large as your calves are, they should start eating fairly quickly especially with the molasses. we bed the creep feeder they go in and lay around it to...

I don't see sickle hocked but do see smaller hoof. Great mass depth and overrall thickness. Does move off rear awkard. Little shorter necked but thick thick overral. Agree with MT if you had the right cows he could balance them out on the other side.

Red, Roan, White Head Shape and Masculinity (do not buy androgynous appearing herd bulls) Like a stout masculine head esp. temperament- older I get more important dealing with these critters. Testicular size and Dam's pedigree Recognizable genetics for marketability down road

As a 40 something, looking through one man's /families work in that catalog was really impressive but at the same time so sad. Great group of cattle in that mix.

What's on the dam's side? This Proud Star? FSF PROUD STAR 893 ET *x4149382 He is THF but DSH. I would not use ANY PHC bulls on this female an til you test for DS. The most severe mutations with DS have been on PHC cows and DSC bulls vice versa. Think about this when planning your mating. You do...

Nice heifer Mark. Assassin's sire- Asset's never got giant. They were pretty moderate but had plenty of body. I thought was strange considering the breeding on Asset.

One of our biggest cows is Dirty Hairy daughter. She throws the smallest calves in the herd. I am not sure its because Dirty Hairy is an Ali son. Its a thought. He is 75% Maine.

Had a heifer calve this week. She had colostrum, externally had all the signs. Dilated and had the calf without an issue. Calf ate some colotrum but she never formed a bag. We followed vets advice on Oxytocin and her milk never fully came in. Any ideas what may have called this? Vet said pro-...

Good luck with your calf. our Jazz steers have been pretty consistent size and weight. Finished nice.

No offense taken at all. I always worry when a club bull is thrown in the mix. It throws consistency out the window.

Many of the reasons you state are exactly why you wouldn't induce. Not dialting properly, retained placenta's, dopey premature calves. We have not had that experience. Our females laid down cleaned immediately after. Our calves have had vigor. On average we wait til we are sure the physicial...

Your saying she is bred this way already? I have had my heifers pelvic measured. My heifers this year project 89# range. I used calving ease bull. I have fed protein blocks and fed grain and fed nothing but hay. Where we are, it tends to be the summer/fall pastures and our winter temps that...

The last picture respresents a market prospect the best. The first photo makes him look a little flat rear. By looking only at the last photo, like the head shape and I have found it usually is a good indicator of gain. Get some weight on him will make huge difference. Natural fit has been a...

First- I am not familiar with Hereford EPD's but 3.8 BW on the bull? CE .7? What is the breeding on the shorthorn side of the female? I bred a Jazz son to a Jazz daughter and had a super hard pull calf, super stout. 90's bw when I analized the Dam's pedigree there was a TON of birthweight on her...

This is personal experience only and may or may not be popular. We have had some really bad experiences with overdue calves. I palpate sometimes have vet re-palpate and induce. If you are certain of her due date and have the abliity to watch her closely you can induce. I have had the vet come...
