Beef producers we need your manure!

In September we will be hosting a producer meeting in conjunction with BI on the topic of parasite management/dewormer use in your herd (more details to come).

To prepare we are looking to collect f***l samples from producers in our practice region to send to the lab.

This is a great opportunity to gain FREE insight on your herds parasite load, as the diagnostics will be of no cost to you.

What we need:
1. F***l samples from calves or yearling replacement heifers
2. Collection either rectally or from pasture (from pasture must be fresh)
3. Breed of cattle collected from
4. Last herd dewormer used (product and date)

If you are interested in sending out a f***l sample on us, please contact us at 715-926-3821 or ask a Vet if you see us.

Ideally we would like to get samples to send this week. Please refrigerate upon collection!

Today is Administrative Professionals Day and we would like to give a shoutout to our office staff, Magdalene and Lindsay!

These two are a huge part in keeping our clinic running smoothly and efficiently. Along with the many things they do daily to support the clinic, they are responsible for scheduling and fielding emergency calls during the day. With four vets on the road, this can be quite the task and they are there to make sure the doctors get to where they need to go!

Thanks for all you do Magdalene and Lindsay!

With calving season underway, it’s a good time to refresh on the signs of dehydration in calves.

Mild dehydration may be corrected with oral electrolytes or SQ fluids (fluids under the skin). More advanced dehydration needs IV fluids to correct the deficit.

To calculate the amount of electrolytes or SQ fluids a calf needs follow the steps below.
1. Use the chart to determine the % dehydration the animal is experiencing
2. Use the following formula (% dehydration x weight) and divide by 2
3. This will give you the quarts of fluids needed. 1 quart is approximately equal to one liter

Remember to rehydrate throughout the day and continue to make sure the calf is still consuming milk!

If you are unsure if your calf needs IV fluids administered by a veterinarian, give us a call at (715) 926-3821. We are happy to answer any questions and look forward to supporting your needs throughout this calving season!

Lactating dairy animals are required to have a negative HPAI test prior to going to fairs or shows in WI!

This is a milk test that must be sent to the state lab. The sample needs to be collected within 7 days of the animal arriving at the fair.

There is no cost for the test through the lab and the USDA will provide reimbursement to producers for shipping of samples and veterinary costs. Premise ID is needed for the funding to cover testing and producers must submit information for reimbursement of the veterinary cost and shipping.

Please schedule ahead of time if you plan on taking a lactating animal to a fair this year to ensure results are available within the proper timeline! For the Buffalo County Fair this would mean testing should be done on Thursday 7/25, Friday 7/26, or Monday 7/29 to be ready for animals to arrive on Thursday 8/1 at the fair.

Please call with any questions or to schedule at 715-926-3821!!!
