I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. (And that is what it is worth!) I have been calving my heifers and only my heifers this way for 6 years now. In six years I can only think of 3 that did not respect my daytime calving program. I'm not a large farm but in six years it has been over 250 head...

http://addisonlabs.com/products/M.Bovoculi.php I used Pilligaurd and Vision 7 20/20. We rotate flytags every year, and always remove them in the fall. Feed minereral, etc. I flat got hammered this year, Starting in Feb., and it still has not stopped. My vet told me to look into this...

I've got a puller from KC Stone Mfg in Kansas City. I've used it for years trouble free. I probably could have found cheaper but this one has never failed me when needed.

This kid needs Duct Tape!!

Been there done that. In my experience the Sim crossed with any angus (red or black) did not take our Missouri native fescue very well. All of my sim crossed cows are Hi headed and hard keepers. Thank goodness I don't have many left. Honestly you could not run fast enough to give me a Sim...

I am certainly not disagreeing; I think you are spot on. I was just trying to add to your post with information I learned when I fought it a couple of years ago. In my case the neighbor turned out a couple of loads of Sale barn cows next to me. Those cows started to die and during fly season...

On black cattle you can tell with a poast exam by looking at their spleen. Will have the same yellow to white color. Here in Mo. we are able to keep in check with high levels of CTC in the mineral, but CTC mineral will not cure. If I remember correctly to cure you must give CTC for a...

That being the case I would guess it to just be a fluke. My problems were with sim-angus stock, and we had several of these calves in a row from the same crop of heifers, bred to 1 "non relative" angus bull.

Some one mentioned cash in the cow I disagree. Cash in the Bull. Chances are you have the gene in several other cows if you keep heifers. I went through this about 3 yrs ago. Fawn calf or Curly calf. Found out 2 of the Bulls we had were carriers. It took recessive traits from the bull and...

Tags can be priceless when bad neighbor "accidently" rounds up your calves at weaning time and the sheriff digs your tags out of neighbor's trash. I saw this happen back in the 80's, prices weren't as good then as now. I say tag and brand.

One of my favorite UMC professors use to say high prices will always cure high prices. I just hope the cure doesn't come for a few more years. Here in Mo last week Super U was .70 cents a unit. I haven't even priced P or K in a while as I use some manure. I don't even want to think about net...
