    2 lm/ch x are out of rocky stockbull as is lmx with white stripe. Other 2 lm are out of pch and ahz.

    Pch animals seem to be very leggy whilst the ahz animal is very blocky. Have a sh out of a pbnr heifer, beutiful animal and would make a great cow but for one small problem. She is a he:p

    The lmx with the White stripe is March born, the rest are April/may born. I've a full sister to the March heifer calving down in March and if she has milk i will breed this one aswell. Getting a 1.5 bucket of nuts and a transport box of hay. They seem to be doing well on it.

    I have an AHZ bull about 15 months old. I was convinced he would stay very small but now he looks like he will grow away, no problem.

    Good to hear. She is pbr but given that ahz is not very good on the maternal side, I'll probably sell her.

    Cows udder seems to have reduced before calving, she did carry a long time, she is tender on some spins and won't let him suck them all, she is also a little hard, anything that should be done other than milk out by hand? Shot of penicillin maybe?

    She's a heifer, normal for them to be tender. We use the term 'flagging' around here to describe it but I'm sure there's a technical term.
    Just make sure they don't go unsucked for a few days, if they get dirty, clean them so the calf won't be discouraged to suck them. He'll work his way around once his gets his full hunger and vigor ;)

    I have a calf a few weeks old that had a bit of a navel infection. The vet gave me a bottle for him and his navel has dried up but over the last week I noticed his front legs are starting to buckle. I'm worried it is joint ill because I had a calf that had a similar issue last year and I ended up having to put him down. What do ye think it might be and is it something to worry about?

    Selenium/Vit E injection will sort him out. Nothing to be worried about :)

    Vet should be able to give them to you, just tell him the calf is knuckling at the knees and that's more than likely what he'll give you. We used to have a couple of them every year until we upped the minerals to the cows. It'll take a few days to straighten out but he'll come grand.

    that wasnt too bad had one here a couple years ago had to get a shot for 20days in the end we were running after trying to catch him he hated to see us coming, he never made a full recovery on his feet but we got him into the factory so it was worth the hassle

    I'd be worried it's joint Ill. Sorry to have to say it. I'd be chatting the vet asap.
    I hope I'm wrong and Se sorts him out. If i t was me I'd be taking no chances!

    Id have to agree with genghis. If it's joint ail it would be Linco spectun id be hitting them up with if the nori lab hasn't worked. I used to be plagued with it till I started soaking the navels in iodine after they were born. I've had heaps of success situation with joint ail so wouldn't overly panic but it does take a long time to clear.
