Its the bang that gets me. Everytime I hear that deafening sound of failure, that hurts the most.
For goodness sake don't advertise that in the 'booze limits' thread in Off topic. Lovely picture btw!View attachment 454168
her diet now argely consits Of larger and as many bags of watsits she can get her hands on. apparently my wife gave birth to a 50 year old single male with a combover who still lives with his mother.
She cost 1070 giving about 23 litreI can't get over how much light there is in your parlour!
What's the story with the heifer you bought?
Served her on Christmas morning still milking about 20 litres so I'm happyHow did the one you paid 300 and something for a few months ago turn out? @William Mellor
You had a bargain thereServed her on Christmas morning still milking about 20 litres so I'm happy
There was a few yesterday around the £400 mark but were nowhere near as good as that one, they didn't look like they'd live the week out, calved around Christmas - New year and only giving 10 litre and looked terribly under fedYou had a bargain there
View attachment 454174 View attachment 454176Sorry for the bad photos. But this heifer due to calve any day has had this eye problem for a while. When she came indoors in November she was treated with Alamicin LA injected into eyelid. Both eyes are the same. All seemed to clear up. However the same problem has returned. Its like a brown/red film over the eye when looking from the cows side. However from the front the cow looks just about normal. I treated the eye as new forest first time, but did think it was odd that both eyes are the same. Heifer is otherwise fine and healthy. I am going to let her calve first and then get the vet out. Just wandering if others have seen similar situation.
PM planned HC? If not, what was CH prognosis of the cow?Horrible isn't it :/ and just annoying. But hey ho onwards and upwards
I feel your pain, incalf heifer bought in nov calved dec, toxic mastitis up the backboard tomorrow, sh!t happens never look back, she cost £1250, we all get emIts the bang that gets me. Everytime I hear that deafening sound of failure, that hurts the most.

are her eyes looking in a bit , like she is cross eyed ?
if so it could be where the ligaments holding her eyeball in have been damaged or diseased , i have had a few like it and they all seem to have a film over their eye too , no treatment i dont think
Yes the cow heifer does look somewhat cross eyed. And there is no white spots on the eye. She also does not look to be irritated by it. But vision is deifinately impaired. A 1 lactation heifer by the look of it. But will get the vets oppinion.
Thank you. Does seem to be the same problem.google strabismus in cows
View attachment 453998View attachment 454092 Brought this heifer yesterdayView attachment 454094 Heifer calf born in the night by Kirkby Malvern, cow is bred by Moet Melody. Was suprised really as had double served the cow to Malvern 12 hours after standing and then Fertilty plus blue 24 hours after standing and was 8th service
It is probably the biggest advantage of block calving, you very quickly only breed replacements from cows on their first service although it does mean you don't always breed from your < BEST> in inverted commas, computer keypad problem, cows. Slight issue is heifers are running with Friesian bulls for 3 or 4 cycles.Well done on all the heifer calves you keep getting but breeding replacements out of a cow that took 8 services may have something to do with your ever growing kill list you mentioned as your breeding poor fertility
We've learnt this lesson, it does run in the family's of cows
She was bellowing like mad at 5am this morning but not standing(she was 1 of 2 heifers bulling chasing each other trying to mount one another) but by 12 mid day she was standing and served at 3pm she has been the same each time I've served her
