came so quick that we split up what looked perfect and what looked in trouble. so had 20 okay and 10 showing signs of dullness etc. all that died were from the 10 group, vaccination was going to be too late so just started treating and soon stopped as we were at nothing. Lead time. 2 im treating at the moment were vaccinated 3 weeks ago after initial outbreak

What drugs where you using zactran/draxin are the only two id rate in trying to treat ibr, cost yeah a pretty penny though....

Go away out of that.

Turn off the tap now please. We have enough. ground is wet again. We had rain all night! The only upside is that our water main is flowing again - and that's a bad sign of the weather!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Moved the cows last night and when all heads were down grazing it gave me the chance to tar the heifers. nothing like an ai glove and the smell of stockholm tar on a good evening to feel like summer.

i put it on their udders, its to keep flies away and prevent mastitis

AntrimGlens · 24-07-2013 11:04AM

? on their udders obviously and on inside of their legs. Ddin't do the heifer calves in the fore of the pic but the bigger heifer in the middle can see it on her elder and legs..

You must have quiet heifers! I think if I tried that in the field there would be no more JDI on boards.ie

Some smashing looking stock by the way. Are any purebred?

AntrimGlens · 24-07-2013 02:23PM

my oul lads never away from the stock to be honest always walking through them and petting them, but yes all our cattle are very quiet which is a good selling point for all the pb bulls. Anything that was ever flighty got the hook - he nearly got killed by a cow that calved in a pen and he hopped in to spray its navel and doesnt remember anything after that, only we think the dog went in to attack the cow and he's somehow scrambled out.
that was the wake up call to no more wild cattle here no matter how good a calf they produced.
All Pb except the black heifer that was a friesans calf, she was bought when we lost a cow in the calving and double sucked anything that was a twin.

you should swap usernames with teat squeezer - its all about a slow massage to get the right result;)

Familiar story here. I'd a close call a few years ago and that Autumn culled 4 cows purely based on poor docility. Otherwise they were great sucklers, but they're not much use to you if your 6ft under. Important to walk through them as much as you can and lay a hand on them when you can. It all helps.

LOL again, didn't see that one coming tagged on at the end as it is.

Tag it, and feed it. Send it to the abbatoir as beef animal. If horse meat is ok in a beef burger, why would'nt bunny meat be ok:rolleyes:
I'd say he would grade U:cool:
