Reassuring for a Daddy to hear!!!

Neither would I. But I think the same fellow is more bovine than human from constant association.

Man that does hoofcare and dehorns calves for me was telling me that he had the flue for ages this spring and couldn't shake it. He heard somewhere that it could be RSVP virus. Anyway when vaccinating calves for some farmer he had a cc of vaccine left and administered to himself, up the nose. Right as rain after four days. Wasn't even worried when one of the calves died two days getting the vaccine. :eek:

You better not get him to help you estrumate heifers

we used the small chocolate eggs and rabbits you get in aldi or where ever, hid about 70 0f them, will end up melting them to make cornflake buns as the kids dont really eat chocolate

My favourite egg cup

moy83 · 20-04-2014 9:38pm

Lads I've a calf that is breathing a bit fast , drools a bit from the mouth and walks a little stiffly . Now he looks well in the eye and is drinking the cow fine . He is about three weeks old and I didn't look at him since I tagged him a couple of days after calving . The father said he has been the same way since he was born and doesn't seem overly concerned but I wonder is there anything I could do to perk him up a bit . He is passing dung and urine fine aswell

Has he a temp. I'd be giving him a shot of Alaymicin LA. He might have a mild infection that he not shaking off, but not enough to make him sick. I noticed a few of the late march calves here a small bit off color this year. Maybe the mild weather. But just not right from birth. The alyamycin seems to have got them to shake it off.

Anyone know of a good song or playlist I could download ?! On the iPhone...I'm afraid my day involves a lot of Power harrowing?!?

sheebadog · 21-04-2014 9:20am

Staff and family out to a nice restaurant last night. After to the pub and late home.
God but it's hard to drag yourself out of bed at half five in the morning after the pub!!!

On the upside 5 heifers calved last night on their own. Thank God for sexed semen.

Yep know what u mean. There was a time I would have done it but now would consider it a complete waste of a day. Met the father after mass yday and went with him for a pint. Last 20 mins of Liverpool game was on which I wanted to see. Great result and left after a pint as had dinner in MIL.
Big crowd in and I'd say it was fairly messy by late afternoon
