I was wondering if brown swiss make good beef cattle compared to say an angus? Theres a guy trying to sell some calves 21 days old and younger for $175. Is that a high price?
Thanks
Raw cow's milk has all 20 of the standard amino acids.
Raw milk contains lactoferrin, which is an iron-binding protein for improved
absorption of iron and also anti-cancer properties.
Contains CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated omega 6 fatty

Well yesterday about 4:00 pm I gave him a shot of l. a. 200 and a cpl more syringe full of pedialyte. Then about 6:30 a qt of pedialyte with a lil bit of milk replacer and it took a lil while but he drank it all from the bottle. Then about 9:00 last night I gave him a lil more pedialyte but...
Im still not sure if its scours or what it is. Its like 1 day he'll drink a full bottle of milk then hes sick for 2 days,,scours doesnt make sence,,,its almost as if hes lactose and tolerant,,is that possible? Or if he has a lil pneumonia,,my dad has this meds called L.A. 200. Its for pneumonia...
Well I had a package or Resorb from TSC for scours and tried feeding him that but he didnt drink much. But while trying to feed him ,,he took a **** and it came out a dull yellow color and about the thickness of pudding. He almost acts like hes costipated. Now what?
I bought him from another guy when he was 2 weeks old about 2 weeks ago so I dont know if he got the colostrum or not. Stool is runny and yellow. He does have pasture. Hes in with another angus calf and shes nice and healthy. Havent checked his temp. About what should his temp be?
Normal size bottle for calfs,,2 qt. milk replacer from TSC. stool is runny and wet and yes thers water outside availble but most the time he lays in barn. Hes not eatting starter,,hes not eatting anything.
You can try to put a tube down his throat and pour milk in the tube. I heard of other people doing that to feed him. Try that,,it should work. Good luck!
Ask local dairy farms in your area if they do AI. Thats what I did and found a dairy farmer about 20 mins away and he AI my heifer for $15. $10 for semen and 5 for gas. Just make a few phone call to farmers,,if you just start asking,,,farmers will help you. Good luck!
He did have Diarrhea for the first cpl weeks after I got him and so did the other calf but I think that was cuz we switched them over from cow milk to milk replacer. And I wont say that he doesnt have some resistant worms in his belly. But testing would only tell. Would you have another...
Not sure what you mean by scour. But I did forget to mention that when he was born, he wouldnt eat from a bottle, he didnt have that natural sucking on a bottle thing. The person I bought him from said she had to put a tube down his throat to feed him for the first 2 weeks then he started...
