I just bought two Irish Jersey heifers. One is a 12 months and the other is 10 months. They weren't handled much before we purchased them, but in the two...

No, my heifers aren't bred, they're too young. From what I have read you don't breed them until they're at least 15 months old. I have contacted my equine vet...
If they were shipped to you, you should have vet papers that tell you what shots were given when they were shipped. Every state mandates certain vaccines and...
We will be leaving Washington around 04/11 and will be heading to New York with a few open stalls. Our route will be Wa, Id, Wy, Ne, Ia, Mn, Wi, Ill, In, Mi,...
Please make absolutely sure that they have their Bangs tattoo/vaccine. In California, it is required and makes your cows transportable and saleable. THey must...
I'll contact my vet because the people I bought them from are local and they didn't do anything with the cattle but feed and water them. They've had no...

This topic has "forced" me out of lurkdom to say that, everyone, please do your homework BEFORE you bring the cattle home!! Not knowing about the most basic...
Dori, You make some good points! Would you like your next door neighbor bringing cattle near your place with out tags, when you went to the bother to have...
That's nice of you to comment. Of course, I noticed that you made no offer to help "mentor" new people. But of course, it's a lot easier to drive by an...
For the record, I've mentored many people getting into cattle. However, I don't believe it's possible to "mentor" livestock using only the internet or written...
Bob, You're doing just fine. There were some good comments made about the requirements for having certain vaccinations in your state. Be sure to follow the...
Gene, may I respectfully offer that I doubt any states have been declared Johnes or BVD free - both of which are huge and devastating diseases in the cattle...
I agree with Dori. Find some cattle people somewhere nearby. Contact a Unversity that teaches AG, if nothing else. If you have FFA nearby, contact an...
The worst thing about johnes is that even if you get a negative test result at the time when you buy an animal, that animal can still be carrying the disease...
...and to take the mineral comments a step farther, yes, loose works best with cattle, imo, and Vigortone is the best I've ever fed! We're of like mind, TJ! ...
If one is not sure or does not have records of vaccinations for cattle purchased from other breeders is there any reason NOT to start from scratch and give all...
In general it's a good idea to go ahead and vaccinate. However, you'd want to confer with your Vet regarding a Bangs (Brucellosis) vaccination depending on...
Hi Stephanie and Bob! Welcome to the group-these folks bring a huge amount of knowledge together. I suggest y'all sit down one night and go through the ...
I see in the photos section there are several Belted Galoway cow folders, does anyone milk them??? Arn't they also a duel purpose breed? Would love to know...
I know nothing specific to Galloways. All cows give milk to their calves. How much and what quality varies. I know of a lady near here who milks her Herefords....
Gene,When you put it that way I feel real dumb, and if I had thought about it I should have come up with that same conclusion. Thanks for opening the door for...
