Thanks

Hi, I would like fertilizer prices, please. Regards

I rang the vet and mentioned the problem to him. He said that she might have a lung infection or something and suggested that we wait to see how she was doing the next day to get a better idea. The next day, there wasn't as much bloody discharge and by yesterday it seemed to have turned to...

Is it possible that this could be pneumonia?

It is quite a rotten smell.

Do you know what might be cause of it?

Hi, I'd like advice please. We've got a cow that has suddenly stopped eating with bloody discharge coming from her nose. She has stopped chewing her cud and I don't think she is drinking. There's also a bit of a smell, which could be coming from the discharge. She is a British Blue cow and...

Thanks, appreciate the replies. I hope she'll be allright.

I didn't realise what I had done until I saw on the heifer's BCMS records that she had been sired by the same bull as I had her artificially inseminated today. She is actually a half bred Angus.

Hi, I have today had a heifer artificially inseminated with the semen of her sire, in error. What is your advice about what to do with her? Is there a chance that she will give birth to a normal calf?

Beef, they are a variety of steers and heifers.

Hi, What's the best way to go about rearing young calves, the youngest being about two months old? Most of are old enough to manage on solids.

Choochter, appreciate your sentinents. They haven't had any fluke treatment or a wormer and I don't think we could go through with them being destroyed on the farm. My partner is very depressed and always crying. I don't think she meant to get so attached but somehow it happened anyway...

Very complacent about doing anything about the wildlife and I want to make a stand for the cows. Also, they will have to travel from North Shropshire to the slaughterhouse in South Wales? These cows have provided a great service to us and is this how they have to leave? I don't know what to...

Have telephoned the Animal Health and was unable to get through. Then, I sent an email. Then, he rang back and stated that they might all be taken. I don't know what to do. Around 20 of the herd, (that includes the 2 cows) are in the clear and yet the might have to go. Should I make a stand...

Yes, that's right. The original 6 out of 8 tested were preMT. Then, the whole herd had to be retested and 17 in total were found to be either reactors or inconclusives. The two that were clear in the first test were not re-tested. Many of the calves received the all clear and there were two...

The valuation of bovines' paperwork has come through. The original 17 (reactors and IR's) are all being classed as Reactors. The cow that I've been writing about, was among the two categorised as being clear of tb on the day of the reading, by the vet. However, in a separate paperwork...

I've been looking at the information in the chart and I think the Animal Health man that visited the farm stated that the cow who was given the clear by the vet, showed 1mm on his papers but wouldn't she have been given the inconclusive status by the vet, if that was the case. He said that she...

Thanks for the charts. I think I need a bit of help understanding how to read it accurately though. Haven't been in touch with the vet yet but I still can't understand why a cow that was deemed clear at the reading is on the list to be moved off the farm. I'm a bit worried about contacting...

Do you think that emailing would be enough or should I actually make a point of ringing him?
