    He's all right as rain! He still needs to gain more weight, cause that little go at it was hard on him, but he's happy, very active, and pushin me around. I thought that didn't happen til later, but hopefully he learns the word NO. I took him to a cow bingo event about a half mile from here...

    good idea! I forgot, cause there are so many details, that I put pro-bios in it as well, and these ph-balancing capsules in the electrolytes. I have no idea whether they work, but seems as tho his acid/alkaline balance is out of whack. Im also switching from the dumont brand to purina on the...

    My steer was born on April 9th, and we got him April 11. We had him on replacer, but somebody insisted after 2 weeks or so that we change to the next up the list food, i'd given him colostrum just in case at the beginning. He had diareah for a day after that, but i figgered on it. So, for...

    Thanks guys, he's great. Kolanuraven, thats good advice. I am going out there with another gatorade & stuff in it just in case now. He sure is a nice one of those. I don't even know what to call him. Is it a steer if you banded him right off the bat? I just call it cow. When he's hungry...

    I know its not over....but I stayed up all night, giving him part of a bottle hourly. I had to take the hose to his butt, drag him to new hay, he couldnt stand up to save his life. This ws another pretty picture, as he was parked in front of the gate, 20 feet from his pen. I only dragged him...

    I've felt him all over, incl his mouth, and nothing feels hot. He is still squirting, less than before, I wonder what he even has to push out. It's 1:30 am, and i've gotten another half gallon into him since sundown, and I will go again now, its like a quart at a time. He is really enjoying...
