A year ago in June we went to a cafeteria mineral & vitamin program. We saw an immediate elimination of pinkeye in the first bunch of around 200 heifers we put on it. This season we put a set of fall calvers on. Again no pinkeye and well shed off. Although all the products are consumed, the most...

Every time we handle our yearlings we vaccinate for pinkeye. We use the local strain that our vet has made for this area. We also use a vaccine off the self, I believe, Bov Eye. In fact we mix them and give a 4ml dose. That really reduces it but, as you say4D, we still had more cases than we...

We're in a very traditional cow- calf area . we're the only ones right around here that background yearlings on grass. We have some cow-calf also.

You probably see them more often than we do.

Thanks. Our bull selling friend in Lebanon used to post here , but haven't seen him for a while.

Small world. How about a few C of O stories ? Did you talk to him today, or how did you put this together ? Now I need to do some detective work.

4Diamond, You and I just about got to be in the same area!

I would rather they be NOT clipped.

If YOU can use it in YOUR operation, by all means go for it. As far as any value downstream, not so much. When I get cattle with them in I cut them out and through them in the wood stove. To me they are just ear tags I can't read.

In MO , the third largest cow-calf state, there are around 65000 cow owners.I am assuming in the brand states that each owner has a brand registered to his name. If that be the case, in MO alone it would be nearly impossible to register a distinctive brand for every producer. The complexity of...

Thats incredible. I would be curious to know what synchronization protocol he used. We are going to be Synchronizing 200 hd of heifers this spring and have not come to a decision on the most effective method.

We've had them be from one up to two weeks early.

Glad to see you back, R2

How 'bout JBS

I believe Chandler Keys ,former NCBA employee, has a position with JBS. If I remember right Keys lobbied for NCBA or at least worked out of the DC office. I'd say he knows his way around the legislature.

Haven't heard anything about that, but on the same subject, I'm itchin' to see where Truitt goes...??????

I would say since just after WW II instead of 100 yrs. Until then most foods were more local and less prossesed.

New mystery voice sounds to me like Mathew McConnahay (sp)

Who stands the loss on a deal like this? Does the government pay the value of the animals? Does the lab have some liability? Just wondering.
