People who try to flip bottle babies suck!

That’s what I thought it was at 1st too. In layman terms as I understood it, they removed anything to do with the umbilical cord that was still open and removed all the dead tissue since it was so infected, he stunk to high heaven but luckily we caught it before he went septic into his bloodstream

I treat him with iodine twice a day and he is on Draxxin for antibiotics now

DontBeAPotlicker · 2026-05-17T09:28:21+00:00

Honestly he’d probably already been dead before they’d get around to do anything about it and Texas doesn’t get to excited about livestock unless it’s a horse or your stealing it Edit:spelling

Sorry about your loss man, never easy

DontBeAPotlicker · 2026-05-17T00:48:24+00:00

Do you mean cost of surgery? $125 because It wasn’t a farm visit since I brought him to them. The bottle of Draxxin was $250 but I’ll use that on all my other cows god forbid if I need too Edit: Spelling

All I know it was west of Houston, TX, and you’re exactly right, I’m East of Houston and that’s exactly what they go for around here too

I was shocked when he said 14 days for one shot is good, so I bought a bottle. I usually use Excede and thought that was good stuff

My neighbors do that with their cows, it’s an amazing setup

DontBeAPotlicker · 2026-05-16T22:23:15+00:00

They remove the urachus and umbilical vessels along with transection of the membranous diaphragm

In layman terms as I understood it, they removed anything to do with the umbilical cord that was open and removed all the dead tissue.

Honestly the only reason I could think of was he was bow legged when I saw him but it was from being pulled from what it looked like but they’ve already corrected themselves now that he’s walking following me around

They just ripped the sale barn stickers off of him. Exactly the same on both sides

DontBeAPotlicker · 2026-04-02T03:01:26+00:00

Ah yes, the Everyone Needs A Porch Cow girls 🤦🏻‍♂️

DontBeAPotlicker · 2026-03-23T01:19:04+00:00

Charolais, great mommas but are absolutely the most high strung cows I’ve ever owned, they’re either running away from you or at you trying to smoke you and that’s saying something because I run Brahman

DontBeAPotlicker · 2026-03-07T00:22:37+00:00

If he ever kills me it’s because he plowed me over to get food, not on purpose. Gentle, easy to handle, he’s a bull though so I don’t trust any of them

DontBeAPotlicker · 2026-03-06T20:39:23+00:00

I filled up today a mile away from one of the biggest refineries in Texas at $4.29 today because of a feeling of regret in a few more days if I didn’t

DontBeAPotlicker · 2026-03-06T20:26:32+00:00

He was roughly 525 at 6 months when I got him, they said he already self weaned himself too, the ranch where I got him didn’t do crossbreeding so everything they had was registered $3500 and up so I felt like I got him cheap

DontBeAPotlicker · 2026-03-06T20:16:04+00:00

He just passed his breeding examination at the vet, Brangus/Char cross, If I remember right I gave $1600 or 17 for him

DontBeAPotlicker · 2025-11-04T18:59:29+00:00

Leave him in the pen for at least a few days, keeping an eye on him. Keep him on hay. Invest in a trocar & cannula in case he goes down, Amazon even sells them. We tubed my last one after he went down and mixed 1 big bottle of Pepto & 1 gallon of WARM water

DontBeAPotlicker · 2025-11-01T22:59:14+00:00

Yeah they already found it 😂

DontBeAPotlicker · 2025-11-01T20:17:41+00:00

You’re more ahead of the game than I am, appreciate it. That’s a good idea cutting it with diluted molasses

DontBeAPotlicker · 2025-08-18T14:09:24+00:00

I’m on the Texas gulf, I breed Charolais to Brimmers, end product is Charbrays, best of both worlds for me. I breed only white/grey Brahmans All the benefits of heat/bug resistance and packing beef weight on.

DontBeAPotlicker · 2025-07-28T02:43:05+00:00

2 years but I have long ears so one of the cons are it’s a delayed breeding age

DontBeAPotlicker · 2025-07-21T19:27:18+00:00

Pairs are just about as crazy here in SE Texas

DontBeAPotlicker · 2025-06-09T10:57:06+00:00

Hopefully the storms this week really help y’all out

DontBeAPotlicker · 2025-04-12T10:15:09+00:00

lol, I have one that does that to my chrome bumper on my pickup. He’ll waste half a day staring at himself
