It's been a long day. Just checked cows and wrote down the matching numbers for cows and calves that were nursing.
After breakfast, the family turned out to each of their assigned positions. Having a calf table sure helps when you band those little bulls. Grandkids and nephews got to help out. Show and tell in the barn and garden and then the "big" boys got to go fishing.

We tag our heifers with a white tag (1 - 50) and the bull/steers with a yellow tag ( 51 - 100). This helps with sorting. We match the calf tag number with the mama's tag number so when we take pairs to the different leases, we know we have the correct calf with the right mom....saves a lot of stress on all of us...cows included.

Here's a Facebook link to photos taken during the day by our daughter....even some chicken pics....

Thanks for the info on bumblefoot- i had already pulled the core out, sprayed it with bluecote after peroxide- and am packing it with neosporin, so far haven't seen any swelling- i don't have penicillin, is there an alternative i should use? After doing some reading have lowered the roosts, need to round them off- are 2 x 4's ok? or would branches be better on their feet?

we are under a flood watch till monday nite- hard to believe after how dry it has been

 

[nnbreeder]

2x4s are great roosts as they are wide enough that the birds can not "lock" their feet around them and cause pressure sores.

Got any other anti-biotics around? Even human ones that you were supposed to take until all gone but didn't?

coming for a small business owner background it is because they buy a lot less of everything,so it costs them more also.....I like to give small business's my money more than I do the big ones.....but sometimes I must watch my pennies......

It's like gas, charge what the people will pay. I can buy a bag of feed at Atwoods for the same price as a bag of feed at the local feed store. But the Atwoods bag is 10 pounds short of most.

Help MJ raise her hand when those cochins come around. Didn't end up going but now that I am just sitting here while hubby is turkey hunting, kind of wishing I would have.
