That plastic should last a while. It sure lets light in. Good to see the ole girl up and milking. Looks like the 806 is earning it's keep.🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

That's what I used to do each year for the covered alleys to the parlor. Clear plastic with wood lathe to hold it

We gave 500 mL each of cmpk iv, 50% dextrose iv, and 23% sub cutaneously for milk fever. We milked 750 head of mostly Holsteins.

We just got hammered with snow and cold. Hopefully you're done with mud 🤞

Nice video. I always thought if you could cross a Holstein and a Jersey and get a heifer that milked like the Holstein and had the butter fat of a jersey you would have it made.

@hartungdairyfarm0713 6 ай бұрын

I used to have some jersey crosses, they were a little small for my liking, and the bull calves were really small and never brought much money. Some people love the jersey crosses but they just never impressed me. Thanks

If you know a cow historically goes hypo-calcemic, there are calcium boluses that you could give well ahead of when she historically goes down. Or use 23% sq ahead. Watch for when the bubble disapoears and redose!

@hartungdairyfarm0713 7 ай бұрын

I do give some boluses to problem cows, but for the most part I usually only have a couple milk fever cows a year. I have had some chronic cows in the past I would give calcium sq. Thanks

Nice curtain idea. Cheap is good. How is it that it's way harder to find that neck vein on some cows and others it's like hitting a garden hose first try. I've only had one milk fever but every Jersey we've ever had likes to get Ketosis. We just pretreat Tulip now and it seems to work.

Yup.. temporary/permanent.. got a few things like that around here 🙄 We get a case of milk fever every year or two. Had one old cow that would go down in the feed barn every year.. she was a 2 bottle gal. Always had her head up and alert, just couldn't get up.. first few calves she was fine, but from #4 to #12, she would go down 2 weeks to the day before calving.. Happy New Year Matt 🥃🥃🍻

@missourirob7712 7 ай бұрын

Did you have to treat her the whole time till she calved, Ed? I've had a few that would need a bottle/ bolus every day until the baby arrived..... Fortunately its usually only a day or two. My dry cows are roughing it this year.

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin it's all time and money for sure....... Seems like it's always the better cows with issues.... The ones that are just keeping the numbers up never have a reason to load them up on the trailer.... Other than she's not very good.😂
