Good point about the rain in fields, never thought of that! yeah thinking of just getting more high mag buckets and just keeping them with the cows all summer. just been so much rain lately and worried about them

Not sure what our K levels are but imagine they are high with using fertiliser. What lick buckets do you use? Was told cows don’t lick high mag buckets as much as they taste bitter. Am I best getting a general lick bucket instead or just sticking with high mag. Also have you ever used magnesium...

Best advice for preventing staggers (hypomagnesium) in suckler cows. Last year I had high mag lick buckets out and lost 3 cows to the bad weather. Any help appreciated.

Most of my cattle in cubical shed have hair loss around the base of their tail. Just flakey skin, no raw bits. Is this something that I can just leave and sort itself out or anyone recommend and treatments/home remedies?

What’s everyone’s choice of castrating beef calves and what age?

I had applied clik extra to lambs back in middle of may, I now have had first 2 lambs with fly strike around shoulders. Is it worth putting crovect in rest of lambs now?

Looking to get a short sleeved parlour top. Anyone know where I can get one at a reasonable price. Preferably not Monsoon brand.

Wasn’t able to skin the calf otherwise I would have :(

At the minute we can get her to stand with cake in front of her for 5 mins max then starts kicking. Just been halter tying her up behind a gate to get her to stand after. She has improved since calf was first put in but just feels like it’s taking longer than it should and loosing the will with her.

I have first time Hereford heifer calved with a dead calf, trying to adopt on a Angus calf to it. Been tying her up for 2 weeks now and still won’t take calf, any suggestion/advice?

I know Bravoxin doesn't cover pastuerella, would this not be as big of an issue for fat lambs?

Looking to vaccinate lambs averaging 5 weeks old this weekend. Struggling to get any heptavac p plus, I have seen other options such as ovivac p plus and lambivac but not sure which one would be the better choice? Or if anyone knew where I could get Heptavac p plus atm?
