We actually feed up to a 44% protein feed for growing heifers. Especially young gals. They end up loose but the growth is tremendous.
Still drench her with calcium. Check for ketones. Could be pinched nerve BUT that would only affect her rear legs.
Well at least you know your critters don't have any internal infections and certainly aren't iodine deficient! ;)
Calcium. Now. Thiamine doesn't hurt either. Thinking milk fever.
In a 7 month old you're likely dealing with precocious udder, a totally different issue altogether. Your treatment would be to milk her out...
Stop treatment now. Wait till she's off withdrawal and run a culture or do a DNA analysis now. ToDay is decent stuff but does not affect certain...

Just like goats...there's only a magic base feed. After that it depends on the body condition, lactation expectations, gestation status, and...
Oh... WITHOUT pain relief (the ointment)
Once the skin starts to pull away, I like Alu-Shield the best. I know some use triple antibiotic ointment. I get a touch leery of smearing...
Sounds like a good old goat rustling is needed. I think I would work on two issues. I would put the effort into confining him to a smaller pen and...
Following for pic
Likely was not cystic in this case then. Perhaps was not cycling strongly or ovulating fully. Typically cystic scenarios are only solved with...

Perhaps try contacting some of the farm share groups in Madison. See what they have had to go through. I know you can have "hobby farm" settings...
I personally would set her up for a round of ov sync. Include both lutalyse and cystorelin in the program. Several options in ov synching. CIDR...
Osters make good barn clippers. In my experience they tend to get warm if using them for long periods of time. Andis make great, affordable...
Keeping A Family Cow is great. We also have a group on facebook.
