THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM...

Today's video starts off with a visit from the vet for 3 of the cattle. I give an update on cattle, grass and tractors.

[@robjw7250]

It’s nice to see tractors with mechanical issues. As opposed to all the modern ones of today with sensors, and software issues.

[@TheFarmingGiant450]

Nice cattle Karen they are looking well and nice simple set up, keep it up 👍🏻

You mentioned a crankshaft seal if it's the back seal and they are splitting her make sure they check the clutches as well for it a fairly big job splitting one so make one split do all keep the great work up

[@farmer7229]

😊worth getting a dung sample from that calf to check for worms or coccidiossis

[@beyondthewizard2347]

In regards to the 390, you can do a couple of little checks yourself before it goes to the mechanic. Look at the battery terminals for signs of green on the cables ends & a build up of white powder on the battery terminals more noticeable on the battery + terminal. Give them a tug & make sure they don't move & are tight. Do the same on the starter-motor make sure all the cables are tight & have no movement. When you take it to the mechanic tell them its a hard start, you'll get a more complete diagnosis. There are a lot of things that can cause a hard start, weak battery, poor cable condition, bad ground, lazy starter motor, low compression, weak glow plugs, fuel running back. Remember you are paying the mechanic to diagnose & rule out all the above problems rather than chucking expensive parts on to your tractor. All the best with both I look forward to hearing what your mechanic finds on the fuel system of the 135. Those cow do keep you busy

Hi Karen, Another great video, as usual everything so well explained, and you can handle all problems with ease, and things on the farm are going good, 👍

Thank you!

Good video again Karen im no farmer but the calf looks fine to me

[@IanPothecary-dx1jd]

Don't worry too much, Norma's calf looks Bonnie enough. I think the reseeded field will look a lot better after some rain on it. Another interesting video Karen, Cheers Poth.

[@haggielady]

Maybe he's having a growth spurt. They just look scrawny for a bit then suddenly fill out.

[@IanPothecary-dx1jd]

Very true.

[@Sean-fb7cy]

Hope you don’t mind me saying but I’d plaster the wall behind your calfing area and give it a coat of white wash. Your cattle are a credit to the two of you. Thanks for posting

[@endaquinn5801]

When we bought our 390 we had the same problem with the starter so we changed to a quick starter and we have had no problems since, the standard starters on them were never a good job but hope this helps

[@ApdanScannell-nb6vv]

You should watch that all of your heifers that aren’t supposed to be incalf are cycling in case that bull/bullock bulled them. That calf does look a little bit empty.

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

They haven't started cycling yet. They were separated from him until a couple of weeks ago thankfully because he was with the cows to show them up so we should be good

[@randyphillips1275]

I really enjoy your videos

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

Thank you!

[@bs4444]

A good stockman trusts her instincts, the calf looks a bit gaunt, possibly mineral deficiency (selenium), worms or simple dehydration from weaning stress causing an electrolyte imbalance. Best not to wait for an emergency. Realize he’s not easy to handle but try to do a basic hands on exam, press the abdomen looking for tenderness, check skin tenting on neck or back, run fingers inside of mouth. If possible check urine color and a stool sample. Keep an eye on him.

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

He's not weaning so don't think it's dehydration or stress. seems to be doing very well now again that the weather has picked up a bit

[@gerrymulligan2602]

Good see.ya in action.

Hi Karen good update the 390 needs a high-speed starter, that will solve the problem.

You need to be heating those 390 if not used for a while, need to heat for 20 seconds. Also the starters on them are lazy.

290 and 390 are not good starters, they need a lot of heat so make sure battery is good, good connections and glow plugs are working, 135s are far superior to start.

Maybe some Banamine would bring her around or maybe give her some vitamin B But maybe she is just smaller you know , Life is that way as long as she is not losing weight she maybe fine I raised Allot of calves in my time working at the Uf Dairy.

[@patrickkelly4070]

we got a guy not a vet to check cows out, no vet bills

[@davidstoddard9160]

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a young yearly bull for a year down the line to bred your heifers and cows, verses having the vet com out each time or even more for some at a minimum?

[@karenmoynihanfarm]

The vet doesn't do the AI. The AI is a lot cheaper than a visit from a vet. The vet just had to come this time because there was an issue. Bulls are dangerous no matter how quiet you think they are and we don't have the fencing set up in most of our fields to hold a bull for any length of time

You said it yourself " Norma,s calf is always small" . He might look small to you but that's beause the others are like gym bunnies. The calves birthdays should be noted and one other thing you dont hear about and that is the level of milk solids per cow. That coud be a genuine reason to cull a cow but not Norma.
