Dairy cows produce more milk when milked three times a day compared to two. So two calves sucking one cow take more milk more often and she will produce more, which makes her body work harder.

I understand the dangers of walnut, but what is the problem with pine?

A vaginal prolapse, can be pre or post partum, is hereditary. Ask any Hereford owner... A uterine prolapse - the whole thing right after calving - can happen just because it happens. It isn't supposed to be hereditary and and if they breed back, they should be fine the next year. I have...

A bunch of our neighbours are feeding elk too. Up to 300. Only problem is, their hay is supposed to feed their cattle and the elk are supposed to stay outside the fence, not in...

"No U.S. rancher that I know of was jumping up and down with joy over what the Canadian ranchers went through." twocents, you said this, then you quoted my statement. "One of the first people I talked to wearing a cowboy hat very quickly told me, "I know BSE has been hard on you people, but it...

However, as I recall, NO ONE on this side of the border got through that mess undamaged if they owned cattle. I visited the US in May 2004. One of the first people I talked to wearing a cowboy hat very quickly told me, "I know BSE has been hard on you people, but it sure has been good for...

Nice pictures. I always enjoy checking to see what you have put up lately. I'm surprised you didn't comment on the eagle coming out of your fluffy layers of clouds. He sure jumped out at me!

If it is joint ill (infection in the joints, often getting there via the blood stream from navel ill) then penicillin won't get rid of it. Penicillin doesn't get into joints really easily. Penicillin also won't work if there is a lot of pus in a pocket, which you may have in those joints. It...

Something to consider on a down and out calf is blood sugar levels. If they haven't had any nourishment, they will be down. Milk takes a while to kick in. Glucose doesn't. Corn syrup has lots of easily available glucose. Even rubbing it on their gums if they aren't swallowing will get it...

Selenium is toxic in higher doses and necessary in a high enough dose. There are areas of the country that have selenium toxicity just from the plants that grow that concentrate it in those areas. In our area, if you fed it in mineral and in the salt and injected the cows you were just getting...

I'm not sure that is pink eye. He isn't very squinty and the whole eye is white really fast. I expect it is pus inside the eyeball itself from an infection he got through the blood stream. How's his navel? That is the #1 place for the infection to come from. If that is what it is, you need...

That makes more sense than the first ideas. AIP is a weird disease. It is a pneumonia because pneumonia, by definition, is just an inflammation of the lungs from any cause. Last I knew, they didn't know for sure how AIP works, but it can be feed related. Often on lush pasture but at other...
