Iron status was evaluated at mid- and late pregnancy and 3 days postpartum. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depres...

If over the course of 4 years you use a different bull each year (with birth weight EPDs of +2, +3, +5, and +5), you have NOT added 15 lbs of actual birth weight to your calf crop. By difference, you have added only 5 lbs of birth weight to your calves, and that assumes you were using a bull with a low birth we...

Follicular urate-like crystals were first described in Necrotizing Infundibular Crystalline Folliculitis (NICF), a rare cutaneous disorder with multiple waxy folliculocentric papules. Similar crystal accumulation may be seen within follicular infundibulae as an incidental finding. We describe a case showing identical crystals occurring within the horn-like crusts of a patient with erosive pustu...

A critical place to start when beginning the herd sire selection decision process is to evaluate the cow herd(s) that the sires will service. From these herd assessments, profiles of desirable herd sires can be develope...
