The Steer-ing Committee
Itrsquos the Pittsby Lee Pitts
A cowboys status in his community can best be measured by what job he is given while attending a neighbors branding For example last year at Johns branding I was on the prestigious steer-ing committee This is perhaps the finest honor that can be bestowed on a rancher Tiny was the knife man Jimmy got to carry the buckets and I to show you the esteem I was held in got to spray the wound As the fourth member of the steer-ing committee it was Donnys job to stand back and make timely and sarcastic remarks and to keep the dogs out of the bucket if you know what I mean
Now John is my friend and a good neighbor but we the members of the steer-ing committee resent the fact that John is the perfect cattleman He is way too serious about it So when John told us to Save 81 because hersquos the best calf I ever raised and I am going to save him for a bull that set our minds to wandering
When the time was just right and John was busy down at the other end of the corral we got the 81 calf down on the ground At just the right moment when John looked in our direction Tiny raised up with a knife in one bloody hand and two mountain oysters in the other I was spraying the still intact bull when Tiny asked John Say what number was that bull calf we werent supposed to cut
John took one look at his precious 81 calf on the ground and another look at what was in Tinys hands and came flying across the arena calling us every name in the book Everybody but John knew all about our little practical joke and people were falling off corral boards bent over in laughter But not John
It was an Academy Award performance for which Tiny should have received Best Actor And our efforts were long remembered by everyone in attendance especially John
Seeing we could not be trusted John immediately transferred us to less vital positions For instance he gave me the job of keeping the flies off the donuts It was a humiliating experience to say the least Throughout the morning John was watching us all like a hawk After the donuts were gone I didnt have anything to do so me and the former members of the steer-ing committee had a meeting and tried to figure out what we could do to John next
We could loosen his saddle suggested TinyWe could mix up all the cows and calves so theyd have to be
resorted said Jimmy I thought my former committee memberrsquos suggestions lacked
originality and I had a better idea Every time John would rope a calf the former members of the steer-ing committee held up cards with scores on them We scored Johns performance just like at the Olympics except our scores were mostly in the low twos
John didnt really appreciate this practical joke either and he realized that unless he gave us real jobs hed suffer the rest of the day OK Harpo Chico and Groucho he said you can have responsible jobs if you promise to quit messing around Do you think you can read ear tags asked John as if we were illiterate
Our new job consisted of reading the ear tag of the calf being processed and transferring that information to the ground crew and the recording clerk That was the final humiliation turning real cowboys like us into a bunch of bookkeepers
Now it is a fact of life that when ear tag 81 is read upside down and backwards by a bunch of slightly inebriated cowboys suffering from sugar highs caused by eating too many donuts 81 can look like 18 And John we the former members of the Steering-Committee just wanted to warn you that yoursquoll soon discover that your Mr Perfect 81 may not be all the calf that you thought he was
(Just kidding of course)

PinzgAuer outlook
Hay hay hay ndash itrsquos everywhere Here in the Northwest wersquove been pretty lucky ndash not much rain ndash allowing everyone to get their hay in the barn
Those who show cattle are busy getting ready for the fairs Donrsquot forget to send your show results to Kathy at the APA website for her to post and in turn send on to The Journal for publishing in our magazine This process makes it easier on the folks at the magazine if they are getting show results from only one person
Our National Show committee has been hard at work Lisa Wamsley is chairman of that committee and they are making sure Tyler id ready for us I hope you are planning to attend with or without cattle
We had a Board teleconference in July with good member participation We are all very dedicated to making decisions that we feel are the best for the Pinzgauer breed
Mathias Kinberger will be here from Austria in August It will be nice to meet with him and make plans for the International Congress in 2011 I will have a report for you at the national Show
See yarsquo in Tyler
Donna
The fiscal year for the American Pinzgauer Association ended June 30 2010 Even with the slow economy the APA had a good year Registrations for the year were up almost 11 compared to last year Transfers also were up significantly by 40 These
increases allowed the APA to finish the year with only a small loss of $45691 We have been working to keep expenses down We have also worked at collecting past-due accounts Thank you to all that have made your accounts current
I continue to encourage you to register your calves and transfer registrations to new owners as you sell your cattle The APA office accepts credit cards

The Gallets were a feature on the Pinzgauer show road for many years as Dusty was very active in the SWPA SEPA and APA junior associations He had a special affinity for animals especially his Pinzgauer cattle and his dog Daisy Many of us will remember Dusty as a very special soul a very hard-worker and a great young man He was always available to lend a hand in the show barn and help the younger kids with their cattle
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very sad time

Wisconsin Pinzgauer breeders along with other beef breeders and the Wisconsin Cattlemenrsquos Association promoted beef and cattle for three days at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days
Stephanie Page and Brooke Calaway promoted the Pinzgauer breed Many breeders should be receiving calls from the information they gave to potential buyers
Cora Krause had a beautiful cow-calf pair that was responsible for attracting a lot of attention
As always Bob Kesler brought T-posts for the pens from Tractor Supply and Pauly Strusz and Todd Andershak along with others helped put up the pens Pauly Strusz and his wife Sheri were also responsible for producing the promotion material
Rachel Erickson gave beef tours to anyone interested in beef education It was a very successful three days on the farm
World Beef Expo has added new divisions to its 2010 Open Show a Commercial Heifer division and an Other Registered Cattle division The creation of these new divisions will allow more breeders to showcase their animals and their breeds
The Commercial Heifer division is open to all commercial beef heifers Animals will be weighed at the time of check-in and classes will be broken by weight (Note Animals shown in the 2010 World Beef Expo Open Show as registered cattle are not eligible for this division)
The Other Registered Cattle division has been created to allow all breeds of beef cattle to be exhibited at World Beef Expo Any animal whose breed is not otherwise included in the Open Show entry information may be entered in this new division Further each individual breed ndash regardless of the number of entries ndash will have its own show and recognize its
own champions (In other words this is not an Any Other Breed division Breeds will not show against one another in classes)
Finally World Beef Expo has established a rule allowing all entries to be eligible for Supreme Champion Any division including the newly created divisions with ten or more paid entries will have its champion(s) automatically eligible for the Supreme Champion Drive Any division with fewer than ten paid entries will have its champion(s) advance to an AOB Champion competition with the winners qualifying for the Supreme Champion Drive
The 18th Annual World Beef Expo will be held September 23rd-26th at Wisconsin State Fair Park in Milwaukee WI For more details including all entry information visit our website at wwwworldbeefexpocom

The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010 13
By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

The Steer-ing Committee
Itrsquos the Pittsby Lee Pitts
A cowboys status in his community can best be measured by what job he is given while attending a neighbors branding For example last year at Johns branding I was on the prestigious steer-ing committee This is perhaps the finest honor that can be bestowed on a rancher Tiny was the knife man Jimmy got to carry the buckets and I to show you the esteem I was held in got to spray the wound As the fourth member of the steer-ing committee it was Donnys job to stand back and make timely and sarcastic remarks and to keep the dogs out of the bucket if you know what I mean
Now John is my friend and a good neighbor but we the members of the steer-ing committee resent the fact that John is the perfect cattleman He is way too serious about it So when John told us to Save 81 because hersquos the best calf I ever raised and I am going to save him for a bull that set our minds to wandering
When the time was just right and John was busy down at the other end of the corral we got the 81 calf down on the ground At just the right moment when John looked in our direction Tiny raised up with a knife in one bloody hand and two mountain oysters in the other I was spraying the still intact bull when Tiny asked John Say what number was that bull calf we werent supposed to cut
John took one look at his precious 81 calf on the ground and another look at what was in Tinys hands and came flying across the arena calling us every name in the book Everybody but John knew all about our little practical joke and people were falling off corral boards bent over in laughter But not John
It was an Academy Award performance for which Tiny should have received Best Actor And our efforts were long remembered by everyone in attendance especially John
Seeing we could not be trusted John immediately transferred us to less vital positions For instance he gave me the job of keeping the flies off the donuts It was a humiliating experience to say the least Throughout the morning John was watching us all like a hawk After the donuts were gone I didnt have anything to do so me and the former members of the steer-ing committee had a meeting and tried to figure out what we could do to John next
We could loosen his saddle suggested TinyWe could mix up all the cows and calves so theyd have to be
resorted said Jimmy I thought my former committee memberrsquos suggestions lacked
originality and I had a better idea Every time John would rope a calf the former members of the steer-ing committee held up cards with scores on them We scored Johns performance just like at the Olympics except our scores were mostly in the low twos
John didnt really appreciate this practical joke either and he realized that unless he gave us real jobs hed suffer the rest of the day OK Harpo Chico and Groucho he said you can have responsible jobs if you promise to quit messing around Do you think you can read ear tags asked John as if we were illiterate
Our new job consisted of reading the ear tag of the calf being processed and transferring that information to the ground crew and the recording clerk That was the final humiliation turning real cowboys like us into a bunch of bookkeepers
Now it is a fact of life that when ear tag 81 is read upside down and backwards by a bunch of slightly inebriated cowboys suffering from sugar highs caused by eating too many donuts 81 can look like 18 And John we the former members of the Steering-Committee just wanted to warn you that yoursquoll soon discover that your Mr Perfect 81 may not be all the calf that you thought he was
(Just kidding of course)

Those who show cattle are busy getting ready for the fairs Donrsquot forget to send your show results to Kathy at the APA website for her to post and in turn send on to The Journal for publishing in our magazine This process makes it easier on the folks at the magazine if they are getting show results from only one person
Our National Show committee has been hard at work Lisa Wamsley is chairman of that committee and they are making sure Tyler id ready for us I hope you are planning to attend with or without cattle
We had a Board teleconference in July with good member participation We are all very dedicated to making decisions that we feel are the best for the Pinzgauer breed
Mathias Kinberger will be here from Austria in August It will be nice to meet with him and make plans for the International Congress in 2011 I will have a report for you at the national Show

The fiscal year for the American Pinzgauer Association ended June 30 2010 Even with the slow economy the APA had a good year Registrations for the year were up almost 11 compared to last year Transfers also were up significantly by 40 These
increases allowed the APA to finish the year with only a small loss of $45691 We have been working to keep expenses down We have also worked at collecting past-due accounts Thank you to all that have made your accounts current
I continue to encourage you to register your calves and transfer registrations to new owners as you sell your cattle The APA office accepts credit cards

The Gallets were a feature on the Pinzgauer show road for many years as Dusty was very active in the SWPA SEPA and APA junior associations He had a special affinity for animals especially his Pinzgauer cattle and his dog Daisy Many of us will remember Dusty as a very special soul a very hard-worker and a great young man He was always available to lend a hand in the show barn and help the younger kids with their cattle

Wisconsin Pinzgauer breeders along with other beef breeders and the Wisconsin Cattlemenrsquos Association promoted beef and cattle for three days at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days
Stephanie Page and Brooke Calaway promoted the Pinzgauer breed Many breeders should be receiving calls from the information they gave to potential buyers
Cora Krause had a beautiful cow-calf pair that was responsible for attracting a lot of attention
As always Bob Kesler brought T-posts for the pens from Tractor Supply and Pauly Strusz and Todd Andershak along with others helped put up the pens Pauly Strusz and his wife Sheri were also responsible for producing the promotion material
Rachel Erickson gave beef tours to anyone interested in beef education It was a very successful three days on the farm
World Beef Expo has added new divisions to its 2010 Open Show a Commercial Heifer division and an Other Registered Cattle division The creation of these new divisions will allow more breeders to showcase their animals and their breeds
The Commercial Heifer division is open to all commercial beef heifers Animals will be weighed at the time of check-in and classes will be broken by weight (Note Animals shown in the 2010 World Beef Expo Open Show as registered cattle are not eligible for this division)
The Other Registered Cattle division has been created to allow all breeds of beef cattle to be exhibited at World Beef Expo Any animal whose breed is not otherwise included in the Open Show entry information may be entered in this new division Further each individual breed ndash regardless of the number of entries ndash will have its own show and recognize its
own champions (In other words this is not an Any Other Breed division Breeds will not show against one another in classes)
Finally World Beef Expo has established a rule allowing all entries to be eligible for Supreme Champion Any division including the newly created divisions with ten or more paid entries will have its champion(s) automatically eligible for the Supreme Champion Drive Any division with fewer than ten paid entries will have its champion(s) advance to an AOB Champion competition with the winners qualifying for the Supreme Champion Drive
The 18th Annual World Beef Expo will be held September 23rd-26th at Wisconsin State Fair Park in Milwaukee WI For more details including all entry information visit our website at wwwworldbeefexpocom

By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters
Q8 My husband says that all calves born backwards

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

The Steer-ing Committee
Itrsquos the Pittsby Lee Pitts
A cowboys status in his community can best be measured by what job he is given while attending a neighbors branding For example last year at Johns branding I was on the prestigious steer-ing committee This is perhaps the finest honor that can be bestowed on a rancher Tiny was the knife man Jimmy got to carry the buckets and I to show you the esteem I was held in got to spray the wound As the fourth member of the steer-ing committee it was Donnys job to stand back and make timely and sarcastic remarks and to keep the dogs out of the bucket if you know what I mean
Now John is my friend and a good neighbor but we the members of the steer-ing committee resent the fact that John is the perfect cattleman He is way too serious about it So when John told us to Save 81 because hersquos the best calf I ever raised and I am going to save him for a bull that set our minds to wandering
When the time was just right and John was busy down at the other end of the corral we got the 81 calf down on the ground At just the right moment when John looked in our direction Tiny raised up with a knife in one bloody hand and two mountain oysters in the other I was spraying the still intact bull when Tiny asked John Say what number was that bull calf we werent supposed to cut
John took one look at his precious 81 calf on the ground and another look at what was in Tinys hands and came flying across the arena calling us every name in the book Everybody but John knew all about our little practical joke and people were falling off corral boards bent over in laughter But not John
It was an Academy Award performance for which Tiny should have received Best Actor And our efforts were long remembered by everyone in attendance especially John
Seeing we could not be trusted John immediately transferred us to less vital positions For instance he gave me the job of keeping the flies off the donuts It was a humiliating experience to say the least Throughout the morning John was watching us all like a hawk After the donuts were gone I didnt have anything to do so me and the former members of the steer-ing committee had a meeting and tried to figure out what we could do to John next
We could loosen his saddle suggested TinyWe could mix up all the cows and calves so theyd have to be
resorted said Jimmy I thought my former committee memberrsquos suggestions lacked
originality and I had a better idea Every time John would rope a calf the former members of the steer-ing committee held up cards with scores on them We scored Johns performance just like at the Olympics except our scores were mostly in the low twos
John didnt really appreciate this practical joke either and he realized that unless he gave us real jobs hed suffer the rest of the day OK Harpo Chico and Groucho he said you can have responsible jobs if you promise to quit messing around Do you think you can read ear tags asked John as if we were illiterate
Our new job consisted of reading the ear tag of the calf being processed and transferring that information to the ground crew and the recording clerk That was the final humiliation turning real cowboys like us into a bunch of bookkeepers
Now it is a fact of life that when ear tag 81 is read upside down and backwards by a bunch of slightly inebriated cowboys suffering from sugar highs caused by eating too many donuts 81 can look like 18 And John we the former members of the Steering-Committee just wanted to warn you that yoursquoll soon discover that your Mr Perfect 81 may not be all the calf that you thought he was
(Just kidding of course)

PinzgAuer outlook
Hay hay hay ndash itrsquos everywhere Here in the Northwest wersquove been pretty lucky ndash not much rain ndash allowing everyone to get their hay in the barn
Those who show cattle are busy getting ready for the fairs Donrsquot forget to send your show results to Kathy at the APA website for her to post and in turn send on to The Journal for publishing in our magazine This process makes it easier on the folks at the magazine if they are getting show results from only one person
Our National Show committee has been hard at work Lisa Wamsley is chairman of that committee and they are making sure Tyler id ready for us I hope you are planning to attend with or without cattle
We had a Board teleconference in July with good member participation We are all very dedicated to making decisions that we feel are the best for the Pinzgauer breed
Mathias Kinberger will be here from Austria in August It will be nice to meet with him and make plans for the International Congress in 2011 I will have a report for you at the national Show
See yarsquo in Tyler
Donna
The fiscal year for the American Pinzgauer Association ended June 30 2010 Even with the slow economy the APA had a good year Registrations for the year were up almost 11 compared to last year Transfers also were up significantly by 40 These
increases allowed the APA to finish the year with only a small loss of $45691 We have been working to keep expenses down We have also worked at collecting past-due accounts Thank you to all that have made your accounts current
I continue to encourage you to register your calves and transfer registrations to new owners as you sell your cattle The APA office accepts credit cards

Dusty Lee GalletDusty Lee Gallet 23 of Lafayette LA passed away on June
6 2010 from injuries suffered in an ATV accident He leaves his parents Glenn and Cindy Gallet brother Ricky Gallet and sister Kristy Gallet and many many friends
The Gallets were a feature on the Pinzgauer show road for many years as Dusty was very active in the SWPA SEPA and APA junior associations He had a special affinity for animals especially his Pinzgauer cattle and his dog Daisy Many of us will remember Dusty as a very special soul a very hard-worker and a great young man He was always available to lend a hand in the show barn and help the younger kids with their cattle
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very sad time
Benjamin NoblesBen Nobles 28 of Clever MO died on June 8 2010
in Springfield MO Ben was an aircraft mechanic with the Missouri National Guard He is survived by his wife Amy his three children two step-children and his mother Paula Fraley
Ben purchased his first Pinzgauers while he was living in Florida as a high school student He was active in the FFA and 4-H He showed cattle in many states and had just recently gotten back into the breed by attending and buying cattle at the Sterling Silver Select Sale in 2008 Ben loved all aspects of farming raising cattle and horseback riding
His family is in our thoughts during this sad time

Wisconsin Pinzgauer breeders along with other beef breeders and the Wisconsin Cattlemenrsquos Association promoted beef and cattle for three days at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days
Stephanie Page and Brooke Calaway promoted the Pinzgauer breed Many breeders should be receiving calls from the information they gave to potential buyers
Cora Krause had a beautiful cow-calf pair that was responsible for attracting a lot of attention
As always Bob Kesler brought T-posts for the pens from Tractor Supply and Pauly Strusz and Todd Andershak along with others helped put up the pens Pauly Strusz and his wife Sheri were also responsible for producing the promotion material
Rachel Erickson gave beef tours to anyone interested in beef education It was a very successful three days on the farm
World Beef Expo has added new divisions to its 2010 Open Show a Commercial Heifer division and an Other Registered Cattle division The creation of these new divisions will allow more breeders to showcase their animals and their breeds
The Commercial Heifer division is open to all commercial beef heifers Animals will be weighed at the time of check-in and classes will be broken by weight (Note Animals shown in the 2010 World Beef Expo Open Show as registered cattle are not eligible for this division)
The Other Registered Cattle division has been created to allow all breeds of beef cattle to be exhibited at World Beef Expo Any animal whose breed is not otherwise included in the Open Show entry information may be entered in this new division Further each individual breed ndash regardless of the number of entries ndash will have its own show and recognize its
own champions (In other words this is not an Any Other Breed division Breeds will not show against one another in classes)
Finally World Beef Expo has established a rule allowing all entries to be eligible for Supreme Champion Any division including the newly created divisions with ten or more paid entries will have its champion(s) automatically eligible for the Supreme Champion Drive Any division with fewer than ten paid entries will have its champion(s) advance to an AOB Champion competition with the winners qualifying for the Supreme Champion Drive
The 18th Annual World Beef Expo will be held September 23rd-26th at Wisconsin State Fair Park in Milwaukee WI For more details including all entry information visit our website at wwwworldbeefexpocom

Fair and show season is happening now in the northeast Many of our breeders will be out
promoting and showing off their cattle Some of us will also be traveling to Texas for the National Show
Pinzgauer cattle are being promoted in other ways besides the fairs Charming Fare Farm Inc in New Hampshire offers hayrides through their pasture of
Pinzgauer cattle Thousands of people a year tour their facility What a great way to promote the breed
Commercial breeders in the Northeast are looking to Pinzgauers to use in their cross-breeding and 3-way cross programs They have been excited with the spring calves from this breeding
A private local college has been using local produced food in their food service program They have recently agreed to use Pinzgauer beef for much of their beef needs Pinzgauer beef is also on the shelves of some small local stores Word is getting out on the lean and tender Pinzgauer beef
Our 2010 National Show is happening and all those that have been working hard to make the show a relaxed and enjoyable event need a thank you from the APA board and the members It is great to have this event to come to and keep up with the Pinzgauer Breed I would
like to thank everyone who is traveling to Tyler Texas this year and all those who have made donations for the
youth This is what makes the event what it is If there are any needs before during or after the show please let us at the SWPA know about it so that we can help

By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters
Q8 My husband says that all calves born backwards

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

The Steer-ing Committee
Itrsquos the Pittsby Lee Pitts
A cowboys status in his community can best be measured by what job he is given while attending a neighbors branding For example last year at Johns branding I was on the prestigious steer-ing committee This is perhaps the finest honor that can be bestowed on a rancher Tiny was the knife man Jimmy got to carry the buckets and I to show you the esteem I was held in got to spray the wound As the fourth member of the steer-ing committee it was Donnys job to stand back and make timely and sarcastic remarks and to keep the dogs out of the bucket if you know what I mean
Now John is my friend and a good neighbor but we the members of the steer-ing committee resent the fact that John is the perfect cattleman He is way too serious about it So when John told us to Save 81 because hersquos the best calf I ever raised and I am going to save him for a bull that set our minds to wandering
When the time was just right and John was busy down at the other end of the corral we got the 81 calf down on the ground At just the right moment when John looked in our direction Tiny raised up with a knife in one bloody hand and two mountain oysters in the other I was spraying the still intact bull when Tiny asked John Say what number was that bull calf we werent supposed to cut
John took one look at his precious 81 calf on the ground and another look at what was in Tinys hands and came flying across the arena calling us every name in the book Everybody but John knew all about our little practical joke and people were falling off corral boards bent over in laughter But not John
It was an Academy Award performance for which Tiny should have received Best Actor And our efforts were long remembered by everyone in attendance especially John
Seeing we could not be trusted John immediately transferred us to less vital positions For instance he gave me the job of keeping the flies off the donuts It was a humiliating experience to say the least Throughout the morning John was watching us all like a hawk After the donuts were gone I didnt have anything to do so me and the former members of the steer-ing committee had a meeting and tried to figure out what we could do to John next
We could loosen his saddle suggested TinyWe could mix up all the cows and calves so theyd have to be
resorted said Jimmy I thought my former committee memberrsquos suggestions lacked
originality and I had a better idea Every time John would rope a calf the former members of the steer-ing committee held up cards with scores on them We scored Johns performance just like at the Olympics except our scores were mostly in the low twos
John didnt really appreciate this practical joke either and he realized that unless he gave us real jobs hed suffer the rest of the day OK Harpo Chico and Groucho he said you can have responsible jobs if you promise to quit messing around Do you think you can read ear tags asked John as if we were illiterate
Our new job consisted of reading the ear tag of the calf being processed and transferring that information to the ground crew and the recording clerk That was the final humiliation turning real cowboys like us into a bunch of bookkeepers
Now it is a fact of life that when ear tag 81 is read upside down and backwards by a bunch of slightly inebriated cowboys suffering from sugar highs caused by eating too many donuts 81 can look like 18 And John we the former members of the Steering-Committee just wanted to warn you that yoursquoll soon discover that your Mr Perfect 81 may not be all the calf that you thought he was
(Just kidding of course)

PinzgAuer outlook
Hay hay hay ndash itrsquos everywhere Here in the Northwest wersquove been pretty lucky ndash not much rain ndash allowing everyone to get their hay in the barn
Those who show cattle are busy getting ready for the fairs Donrsquot forget to send your show results to Kathy at the APA website for her to post and in turn send on to The Journal for publishing in our magazine This process makes it easier on the folks at the magazine if they are getting show results from only one person
Our National Show committee has been hard at work Lisa Wamsley is chairman of that committee and they are making sure Tyler id ready for us I hope you are planning to attend with or without cattle
We had a Board teleconference in July with good member participation We are all very dedicated to making decisions that we feel are the best for the Pinzgauer breed
Mathias Kinberger will be here from Austria in August It will be nice to meet with him and make plans for the International Congress in 2011 I will have a report for you at the national Show

The fiscal year for the American Pinzgauer Association ended June 30 2010 Even with the slow economy the APA had a good year Registrations for the year were up almost 11 compared to last year Transfers also were up significantly by 40 These
increases allowed the APA to finish the year with only a small loss of $45691 We have been working to keep expenses down We have also worked at collecting past-due accounts Thank you to all that have made your accounts current
I continue to encourage you to register your calves and transfer registrations to new owners as you sell your cattle The APA office accepts credit cards

Wisconsin Pinzgauer breeders along with other beef breeders and the Wisconsin Cattlemenrsquos Association promoted beef and cattle for three days at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days
Stephanie Page and Brooke Calaway promoted the Pinzgauer breed Many breeders should be receiving calls from the information they gave to potential buyers
Cora Krause had a beautiful cow-calf pair that was responsible for attracting a lot of attention
As always Bob Kesler brought T-posts for the pens from Tractor Supply and Pauly Strusz and Todd Andershak along with others helped put up the pens Pauly Strusz and his wife Sheri were also responsible for producing the promotion material
Rachel Erickson gave beef tours to anyone interested in beef education It was a very successful three days on the farm
World Beef Expo has added new divisions to its 2010 Open Show a Commercial Heifer division and an Other Registered Cattle division The creation of these new divisions will allow more breeders to showcase their animals and their breeds
The Commercial Heifer division is open to all commercial beef heifers Animals will be weighed at the time of check-in and classes will be broken by weight (Note Animals shown in the 2010 World Beef Expo Open Show as registered cattle are not eligible for this division)
The Other Registered Cattle division has been created to allow all breeds of beef cattle to be exhibited at World Beef Expo Any animal whose breed is not otherwise included in the Open Show entry information may be entered in this new division Further each individual breed ndash regardless of the number of entries ndash will have its own show and recognize its
own champions (In other words this is not an Any Other Breed division Breeds will not show against one another in classes)
Finally World Beef Expo has established a rule allowing all entries to be eligible for Supreme Champion Any division including the newly created divisions with ten or more paid entries will have its champion(s) automatically eligible for the Supreme Champion Drive Any division with fewer than ten paid entries will have its champion(s) advance to an AOB Champion competition with the winners qualifying for the Supreme Champion Drive
The 18th Annual World Beef Expo will be held September 23rd-26th at Wisconsin State Fair Park in Milwaukee WI For more details including all entry information visit our website at wwwworldbeefexpocom

By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters

problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

PinzgAuer outlook
Hay hay hay ndash itrsquos everywhere Here in the Northwest wersquove been pretty lucky ndash not much rain ndash allowing everyone to get their hay in the barn
Those who show cattle are busy getting ready for the fairs Donrsquot forget to send your show results to Kathy at the APA website for her to post and in turn send on to The Journal for publishing in our magazine This process makes it easier on the folks at the magazine if they are getting show results from only one person
Our National Show committee has been hard at work Lisa Wamsley is chairman of that committee and they are making sure Tyler id ready for us I hope you are planning to attend with or without cattle
We had a Board teleconference in July with good member participation We are all very dedicated to making decisions that we feel are the best for the Pinzgauer breed
Mathias Kinberger will be here from Austria in August It will be nice to meet with him and make plans for the International Congress in 2011 I will have a report for you at the national Show

The fiscal year for the American Pinzgauer Association ended June 30 2010 Even with the slow economy the APA had a good year Registrations for the year were up almost 11 compared to last year Transfers also were up significantly by 40 These
increases allowed the APA to finish the year with only a small loss of $45691 We have been working to keep expenses down We have also worked at collecting past-due accounts Thank you to all that have made your accounts current
I continue to encourage you to register your calves and transfer registrations to new owners as you sell your cattle The APA office accepts credit cards

The Gallets were a feature on the Pinzgauer show road for many years as Dusty was very active in the SWPA SEPA and APA junior associations He had a special affinity for animals especially his Pinzgauer cattle and his dog Daisy Many of us will remember Dusty as a very special soul a very hard-worker and a great young man He was always available to lend a hand in the show barn and help the younger kids with their cattle
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very sad time

Wisconsin Pinzgauer breeders along with other beef breeders and the Wisconsin Cattlemenrsquos Association promoted beef and cattle for three days at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days
Stephanie Page and Brooke Calaway promoted the Pinzgauer breed Many breeders should be receiving calls from the information they gave to potential buyers
Cora Krause had a beautiful cow-calf pair that was responsible for attracting a lot of attention
As always Bob Kesler brought T-posts for the pens from Tractor Supply and Pauly Strusz and Todd Andershak along with others helped put up the pens Pauly Strusz and his wife Sheri were also responsible for producing the promotion material
Rachel Erickson gave beef tours to anyone interested in beef education It was a very successful three days on the farm
World Beef Expo has added new divisions to its 2010 Open Show a Commercial Heifer division and an Other Registered Cattle division The creation of these new divisions will allow more breeders to showcase their animals and their breeds
The Commercial Heifer division is open to all commercial beef heifers Animals will be weighed at the time of check-in and classes will be broken by weight (Note Animals shown in the 2010 World Beef Expo Open Show as registered cattle are not eligible for this division)
The Other Registered Cattle division has been created to allow all breeds of beef cattle to be exhibited at World Beef Expo Any animal whose breed is not otherwise included in the Open Show entry information may be entered in this new division Further each individual breed ndash regardless of the number of entries ndash will have its own show and recognize its
own champions (In other words this is not an Any Other Breed division Breeds will not show against one another in classes)
Finally World Beef Expo has established a rule allowing all entries to be eligible for Supreme Champion Any division including the newly created divisions with ten or more paid entries will have its champion(s) automatically eligible for the Supreme Champion Drive Any division with fewer than ten paid entries will have its champion(s) advance to an AOB Champion competition with the winners qualifying for the Supreme Champion Drive
The 18th Annual World Beef Expo will be held September 23rd-26th at Wisconsin State Fair Park in Milwaukee WI For more details including all entry information visit our website at wwwworldbeefexpocom

Pinzgauer cattle are being promoted in other ways besides the fairs Charming Fare Farm Inc in New Hampshire offers hayrides through their pasture of
Pinzgauer cattle Thousands of people a year tour their facility What a great way to promote the breed
Commercial breeders in the Northeast are looking to Pinzgauers to use in their cross-breeding and 3-way cross programs They have been excited with the spring calves from this breeding
A private local college has been using local produced food in their food service program They have recently agreed to use Pinzgauer beef for much of their beef needs Pinzgauer beef is also on the shelves of some small local stores Word is getting out on the lean and tender Pinzgauer beef
Our 2010 National Show is happening and all those that have been working hard to make the show a relaxed and enjoyable event need a thank you from the APA board and the members It is great to have this event to come to and keep up with the Pinzgauer Breed I would
like to thank everyone who is traveling to Tyler Texas this year and all those who have made donations for the
youth This is what makes the event what it is If there are any needs before during or after the show please let us at the SWPA know about it so that we can help

The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010 13
By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters
Q8 My husband says that all calves born backwards

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

The Gallets were a feature on the Pinzgauer show road for many years as Dusty was very active in the SWPA SEPA and APA junior associations He had a special affinity for animals especially his Pinzgauer cattle and his dog Daisy Many of us will remember Dusty as a very special soul a very hard-worker and a great young man He was always available to lend a hand in the show barn and help the younger kids with their cattle
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very sad time

Wisconsin Pinzgauer breeders along with other beef breeders and the Wisconsin Cattlemenrsquos Association promoted beef and cattle for three days at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days
Stephanie Page and Brooke Calaway promoted the Pinzgauer breed Many breeders should be receiving calls from the information they gave to potential buyers
Cora Krause had a beautiful cow-calf pair that was responsible for attracting a lot of attention
As always Bob Kesler brought T-posts for the pens from Tractor Supply and Pauly Strusz and Todd Andershak along with others helped put up the pens Pauly Strusz and his wife Sheri were also responsible for producing the promotion material
Rachel Erickson gave beef tours to anyone interested in beef education It was a very successful three days on the farm
World Beef Expo has added new divisions to its 2010 Open Show a Commercial Heifer division and an Other Registered Cattle division The creation of these new divisions will allow more breeders to showcase their animals and their breeds
The Commercial Heifer division is open to all commercial beef heifers Animals will be weighed at the time of check-in and classes will be broken by weight (Note Animals shown in the 2010 World Beef Expo Open Show as registered cattle are not eligible for this division)
The Other Registered Cattle division has been created to allow all breeds of beef cattle to be exhibited at World Beef Expo Any animal whose breed is not otherwise included in the Open Show entry information may be entered in this new division Further each individual breed ndash regardless of the number of entries ndash will have its own show and recognize its
own champions (In other words this is not an Any Other Breed division Breeds will not show against one another in classes)
Finally World Beef Expo has established a rule allowing all entries to be eligible for Supreme Champion Any division including the newly created divisions with ten or more paid entries will have its champion(s) automatically eligible for the Supreme Champion Drive Any division with fewer than ten paid entries will have its champion(s) advance to an AOB Champion competition with the winners qualifying for the Supreme Champion Drive
The 18th Annual World Beef Expo will be held September 23rd-26th at Wisconsin State Fair Park in Milwaukee WI For more details including all entry information visit our website at wwwworldbeefexpocom

Pinzgauer cattle are being promoted in other ways besides the fairs Charming Fare Farm Inc in New Hampshire offers hayrides through their pasture of
Pinzgauer cattle Thousands of people a year tour their facility What a great way to promote the breed
Commercial breeders in the Northeast are looking to Pinzgauers to use in their cross-breeding and 3-way cross programs They have been excited with the spring calves from this breeding
A private local college has been using local produced food in their food service program They have recently agreed to use Pinzgauer beef for much of their beef needs Pinzgauer beef is also on the shelves of some small local stores Word is getting out on the lean and tender Pinzgauer beef

By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters
Q8 My husband says that all calves born backwards

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

Wisconsin Pinzgauer breeders along with other beef breeders and the Wisconsin Cattlemenrsquos Association promoted beef and cattle for three days at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days
Stephanie Page and Brooke Calaway promoted the Pinzgauer breed Many breeders should be receiving calls from the information they gave to potential buyers
Cora Krause had a beautiful cow-calf pair that was responsible for attracting a lot of attention
As always Bob Kesler brought T-posts for the pens from Tractor Supply and Pauly Strusz and Todd Andershak along with others helped put up the pens Pauly Strusz and his wife Sheri were also responsible for producing the promotion material
Rachel Erickson gave beef tours to anyone interested in beef education It was a very successful three days on the farm
World Beef Expo has added new divisions to its 2010 Open Show a Commercial Heifer division and an Other Registered Cattle division The creation of these new divisions will allow more breeders to showcase their animals and their breeds
The Commercial Heifer division is open to all commercial beef heifers Animals will be weighed at the time of check-in and classes will be broken by weight (Note Animals shown in the 2010 World Beef Expo Open Show as registered cattle are not eligible for this division)
The Other Registered Cattle division has been created to allow all breeds of beef cattle to be exhibited at World Beef Expo Any animal whose breed is not otherwise included in the Open Show entry information may be entered in this new division Further each individual breed ndash regardless of the number of entries ndash will have its own show and recognize its
own champions (In other words this is not an Any Other Breed division Breeds will not show against one another in classes)
Finally World Beef Expo has established a rule allowing all entries to be eligible for Supreme Champion Any division including the newly created divisions with ten or more paid entries will have its champion(s) automatically eligible for the Supreme Champion Drive Any division with fewer than ten paid entries will have its champion(s) advance to an AOB Champion competition with the winners qualifying for the Supreme Champion Drive
The 18th Annual World Beef Expo will be held September 23rd-26th at Wisconsin State Fair Park in Milwaukee WI For more details including all entry information visit our website at wwwworldbeefexpocom

By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters
Q8 My husband says that all calves born backwards

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

Commercial breeders in the Northeast are looking to Pinzgauers to use in their cross-breeding and 3-way cross programs They have been excited with the spring calves from this breeding
A private local college has been using local produced food in their food service program They have recently agreed to use Pinzgauer beef for much of their beef needs Pinzgauer beef is also on the shelves of some small local stores Word is getting out on the lean and tender Pinzgauer beef

By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010 13
By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters
Q8 My husband says that all calves born backwards

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

Ask the DoctorThe Junior GazetteI hope everyone is having a great summer and keeping cool We had another successful junior show this year Everyone had a
great time After the open show on Saturday everyone went to Jake and Jerryrsquos for supper Even though it was raining we all had a lot of fun We held a meeting at Jerryrsquos to elect new officers The new officers are as follows President- Gloria Kesler Vice President- Danielle Woerner Secretary- Elizabeth Calaway and Treasurer- Stephanie Page Brooke Calaway is a new director and Madison Uhlman will continue as a director for the year We also talked about keeping our royalty contest rules the same for next year We need juniors to work at the Wisconsin Cattlemenrsquos Steak Trailer during World Beef Expo to earn money for next years junior show
The results of our royalty contest for 2010 became final at the Valley Beef show The results are Queen- Stephanie Page Princesses- Gloria Kesler and Brooke Calaway We are all proud to be representing our breed this year as royalty
Wisconsin Farm Technology Days are July 20th 21st 22nd Many juniors including our royalty will be there representing our breed in the beef tent There will be a Pinzgauer cow calf along with many other breeds in the tent Rachel Erickson is doing a
youth education program in the beef tent also
Many juniors are preparing their cattle for Wisconsin State Fair in August After that we will be getting ready for World Beef Expo in September

By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

14 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010 13
By DuAne mickelsen DvmAsk the DoctorQ1 What is meant by the term ldquoflushingrdquo heifers and why is
it usedA Flushing is a management term for providing high-
quality feeds usually grains prior to the start of breeding to increase reproductive performance It works best in heifers with a body condition score (BCS) of less than 5 The studies I have seen show that there is not only an increase in the number of heifers that become pregnant but there is a decrease in the number of days open The problem is that if a heifer has a calf and her body condition is not 5 or above the calf takes most of the energy in the form of milk and without grain the heifer will not show heat unless given a flush
Q2 We live in the Midwest and have recently purchased a number of full blood Pinzgauer cows and heifers but we do not have a bull We have had previous calving problems with our heifers and do have access to a Red Angus bull We also have some Pinzgauer frozen semen available What would you suggest we do
A I realize that finding a good easy-calving Pinzgauer bull can be a problem and I would advise that you do so in the next year Since you have frozen semen I would synchronize the cows with
CIDR (progesterone intra-vaginal devices) or prostaglandin injections After removal of the CIDR the cattle usually start showing estrus in 24-48 hours Breed all those showing estrus (fig1 the cow on the bottom is the one in heat the other one may be pregnant) with the frozen semen and then a week or so later turn in the Red Angus bull who hopefully will sire smaller calves The semen should be deposited just inside the cervix
You can feel the pipette as it comes through the cervix (fig 2) I recommend inseminating towards the end of the heat See the following questions and answers when trying to select a good bull for next breeding season
Q3 What is the importance of scrotal circumference in the bull and how is it done
A Yearling bulls including Pinzgauers should be at least 30 centimeters The bull in figure 3 is two-years old and the scrotal tape reads 37 centimeters The tape is placed around the largest diameter of the scrotum (fig 3) This is done
after palpating the scrotum containing the testicles thoroughly for abnormalities Most yearling bulls have an average of 32 centimeters and this is related to puberty in the bulls heifer offspring The larger the testicles the sooner the heifer offspring will mature Also the larger the bulls testicles the more semen produced and the more pregnancies when the sperm are normal The testicles are forced down Into the scrotum with the opposite hand before taking the scrotal measurement
Q4 My cow has large teats which make it hard for the calf to

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters
Q8 My husband says that all calves born backwards

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

nurse (fig4) Is this hereditary
A Yes it is best to cull the cow because it is heretable Sorry because some good cows have had to be culled because of this
Q5 We recently had a calf aborted that had these crusty leasions on about 13 of its body (fig 5) Someone told us that it could be ringworm from feeding moldy hay Is that correct
A That is correct and you should discard most all of the moldy hay and try to keep it under storage away from to much moisture in the future
Q6 In the last issue you told us how to restrain a cow to let the calf nurse What if the heifer continues to kick at the calf for several days
A I have used baling twine tied around both back ankles which helps slow her down and keep some from kicking but you have to put them in a small paddock (fig 6) and make sure they donrsquot come off Leather hobbles may work better but I use twine because it is always available
Q7 What do you think of pelvic measurement in cattle and
how do you do it
A There are three factors necessary when trying to prevent calving problems and I think they are equally important calf birth weight the pelvic size of the dam and the conformation of the calf Some females will have trouble calving with 80 to 120 pound calves and others do not have a problem I think this may be due to their pelvic size and the conformation of the calf If the calf is heavy boned and blocky they may cause problems whereas if they are long smooth and slender there is not so much of a problem Large frame cows tend to have large pelvic areas but also may have proportionally heavier calves at birth which may offset any advantage in calving difficulty Also larger cows do not always have larger pelvic areas The pelvis is measured rectally with a pelvimeter (fig 7) With the animal restrained in a chute the feces are removed from the rectum and the instrument is placed in the rectum with the hand and arm The height of the pelvis is obtained from the pubis on the floor of the pelvis to the sacrum dorsally Then the width is obtained by measuring the area between the pelvic inlet (shafts of the ilium) at its widest point (fig 8) Most Pinzgauer heifers weighing around 750-800 pounds have a pelvic diameter of 170 to 180 centimeters squared The goal should be to try and achieve heifers with pelvic diameters greater than 170 centimeters

are breach and I think breach position is different Who is right
A Mam the wife is always right Actually you are A calf born in the normal posterior presentation (fig 9) is only a
problem if no one is there to assist because they may suffocate if not pulled rapidly A true breach position is a calf born in the posterior presentation with both hind legs underneath the body (fig 10) and these are a real problem and may require a spinal nerve block to bring the legs into the normal posterior presentation like seen in figure 9

16 The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often strikes calves once they are weaned or shown It is seldom the result of a single factor In fact it is usually caused by a combination of stress virus infection and invasion of the lungs by certain bacteria The disease is most common in calves and following
shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

shipment It occurs widely throughout the world especially among thin and poorly nourished young animals that are subjected to shipment during periods of inclement weather though it may occur in animals in good condition (ie show animals)
Signs The first sign of the disease is a tired
appearance and reduced appetite which may occur within 2 to 21 days following weaning or moving cattle The affected animal may show signs of depression watery to slime-like nasal discharge (fig 1) increased body temperature (103-107 degrees fahrenheit) occasional soft or hacking cough rapid breathing loss of appetite followed by loss of body weight In very acute forms animals may die showing no symptoms (fig 2) However when the animals are autopsied they usually show lesions of hemorrhage and swelling of the
lung tissue (fig 3) Death losses may be high in untreated or unvaccinated animals
Calves are more susceptible than older animals but cattle of all ages are affected
Cause Bovine respiratory disease is caused by multiple infection due to the interaction of viruses and bacteria accentuated by environmental conditions creating physical tension or stress Changes in weather and feed overcrowding hard driving lack of rest exposure to other cattle (at shows or in feedlots) and improper shelter all help usher in the disease
The five viruses which cause most bovine respiratory infections are infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) parainfluenza 3 (PI3) bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV or type 2 BVD)
The BVDV variant appeared in Canada and the United States in the early 1990rsquos It differs from the classical BVD syndrome in its rapid morbidity (infectious rate) and mortality (death) Detection of the new BVD strain from the classical strain can only be made by molecular testing techniques following isolation of the virus from tissues or blood samples
Other viruses which may cause respiratory problems include adenovirus rhinovirus and rotavirus Often viruses are the inciting factors which then allow bacteria to invade the body causing increasing problems Bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella hemolytica are thought to be major causes of shipping fever also known as hemorrhagic septicemia Other bacteria which may infect weakened cattle include Hemophilus somnus and species of Salmonella and Pseudomonas

Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years

The Pinzgauer Journal - September 2010 17
Prevention As a preventative measure one should eliminate as many as possible of the predisposing factors that lower the animals immunity Also any newly purchased animals should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks before being placed in the herd
Immunity can be achieved by administration of the proper vaccines according to label directions It is wise to check with your local veterinarian on which type of vaccine to use in your area and your situation For instance in pregnant cattle certain modified live virus (MLV) vaccines may cause abortion however there are attenuated virus vaccines that may be safe to use Most killed viral vaccines are safe to use in pregnant cattle however they may not provide enough stimulation of the animals immune defense system to prevent disease under extremely stressful situations
Bacterial infections can be controlled by bacterins (killed bacterial vaccines) given in two injections at 10 to 14 day intervals
I usually like to vaccinate calves at least once with a viral and bacterial vaccine one to three months prior to weaning Killed or attenuated modified live vaccine (MLV) should be given at this time to prevent transfer of the organism being vaccinated for to the pregnant mothers After weaning MLV vaccines are safe to give as long as pregnant animals are no longer exposed
Where calves have been subjected to great stress ndash weaning long shipment extensive handling andor exposure to severe weather conditions ndash it is recommended that they be handled as follows given long grass or oat hay and a calf starter ration plus access to plenty of clean fresh water at all times Also the incidence of bovine respiratory disease can be reduced by feeding a combination of an antibiotic
(chlortetracycline) and a sulfonamide (sulfamethazine) for 30 days at the end of the thirty days the medicated feed should be slowly withdrawn so as to prevent bloat Newly arrived cattle should also receive 50000 IU of vitamin A per head daily and have free access to a good mineral mixture
Antibiotics and sulfa drugs are effective treatments if given early in the course of the disease One should monitor the rectal temperature each day in infected animals If the temperature does not decrease at least 2 to 5 degrees within two days following treatment with a certain antibiotic or sulfa drug then a veterinarian should be called or switch treatment to a different antibiotic Some antibiotics may be very expensive but very effective treatments especially if the bacteria are resistant to the more commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin or oxytetracyclines One of the newer antibiotics which has really reduced the incidence of disease as well as given good results treating infection is Draxxin (Phizer) In the bull test station that I have been associated with for 15 years the incidence of outbreaks of pneumonia were 60 to 68 even when bulls had been previously vaccinated whereas after we started giving Draxxin at the same time the bulls were re-vaccinated for shipping fever pneumonia the incidence of disease dropped to 20 The addition of the antibiotic was the only thing we did differently from the previous fourteen years
