Calf

wonderful animals really started to burn brighter when I was nine years old. This began with a simple question,“Mom, can I keep him for a bucket calf?” Her answer was yes, and the next thing I knew I had this calf in the barn and he was all mine. Now at the time I had no idea how to break, trim, feed, groom, or show this calf, but I did know he was my calf. First, I named him Buddy. Then, I…

An Israelite’s Journal I cannot believe we escaped Egypt. I was sure I was going to die stacking bricks for Pharaoh’s tomb. How Moses convinced the Pharaoh to release us, I cannot fathom. Today was the most terrifying day of my life. Pharaoh sent out his men to retrieve us and enslave us again. We were hemmed by the Red Sea in front and the army behind. I, at the time, wondered what Moses would do because all he had done was cry out to G-d. Today I walked across the Red Sea on…

is that rodeos/contestants are cruel towards the animals. “A cowboy mounted his horse. Right next to him was a small caged enclosure. As soon as the gate to the cage was opened, a timid looking calf came sprinting out. The cowboy riding his horse followed the running calf and lassoed it. In a second, the calf came crashing down to the ground with the lasso pulling it by the neck. Swiftly, the cowboy dismounted the horse, ran to the struggling steer, and in one quick movement tied its front legs…

When I went back over all of my fundamentals I figured out the problem. Which was I wasn’t being aggressive. As for being aggressive, I guess I should have said that I didn’t have enough confidence in my riding ability. I had always ridden my dad’s calf roping horses, ever since I was a small toddler. I took a ten year break from riding, to follow my mom and grandmothers dream of me participating in beauty padgets. Some how along the way I lost my confidence.…

tendonitis is one problem that is common in the feet of active children, so what do you need to know about this issue? What Is Achilles Tendonitis? If you could see inside your child's foot, you would see a band that runs between the heel bone and the calf muscle. This is called the achilles tendon. The tendon moves around a lot while your child is playing soccer, and the impact of running around on hard ground can cause it to become…

through many studies I can confidently say that preconditioning cattle is a must, but the way the beef industry works, it does not always look to be profitable to the commercial cow calf producer. When preconditioning cattle it will add in more expenses and more labor to be able to implement these practices when the cow calf producer could not reap the maximum amount of benefits from this act. According to Hersom et al. (2015) “(The) demand for preconditioned calves in the beef industry has…

which it held. Mr. Gotschall described to us his system for feeding and milking his cows, which was quite intriguing. Then we tromped out to the pen where a few milk cows were, one in particular that had a sweet face with black markings, and a darling calf by her side. After observing the pair and discussing them for a time, we hiked back to a nearby shed and climbed aboard a motorized vehicle, which aided us in our traverse to see the calf’s sire. He was a dark, ominous bull who bellowed at our…

muscle tear refers to muscle fibers being damage (Virginia 2013). A tear in the gastrocnemius can cause great risk of injury since the gastrocnemius is located between the knee and ankle joint (Virginia 2013). This can be cause by direct trauma to the calf region or sudden landing on the foot (Medial Head Gastrocnemius 2006). This injury is common in tennis players due to the constant motions of jumping and lunging (Medial Head Gastrocnemius 2006). In the first degree of gastrocnemius tear, the…

can be used to support weak limbs, or to position a limb with contracted muscles into a more normal position. In addition, AFOs are used to control foot drop caused by a variety of neurologic and musculoskeletal disorders. Due to the common use for addressing foot drop, AFO has become synonymous with the term “foot-drop brace”. The goal of AFO use is to stabilize the foot and ankle and provide toe clearance during the swing phase of gait. This helps decrease the risk of catching the toe and…
