Weekly evaporation tables Since the growing season for the principle summer crops is coming to an end, this will be the last weekly issue of Evapotranspiration (ET) data for the 2012 irri- gation season. This was the 39th season of providing ET informa- tion for the North Valley. The ET data will be made available next spring at the start of the 2013 irrigation season. & Branding time for fall calves the fall calves. We des- perately need rain, but these sunny days were nice for the branding crew if they have shade to work under. You cannot brand when it is raining because the hair is wet. The iron would smear or not be hot enough to make a sharp, clear brand with the color of rawhide. Tehama County Cat- It is branding time for tleWomen, Linda John- son, Irene Hancock, Michelle Hickok have redesigned the laminat- ed brand placemats and the cattlewomen are selling them for $5 each. There are fewer brands than on past placemats because there are fewer cattle ranches in the county, and many ranchers have died in the last 48 years. This information is provided as a joint effort by the California Department of Water Resources‚ Northern Region Office (formerly Northern District), the Univer- sity of California Cooperative Extension in Tehama County (a.k.a. Tehama County Farm Advisor's office), and this newspaper. It is intended as an aid to irrigators to help determine when to irrigate and also how much water to apply. The ET data, which appears weekly in this newspa- per during the irrigation season, is a measure of the amount of water that is lost from the soil root zone due to crop use and soil surface evaporation. These are typically the most significant losses of soil moisture during the growing season. To gain the max- imum value from this information you need to look for it each week during the irrigation season and compare it to how much irrigation water is applied with your irri- gation system or how much rainfall is received. Information on how to use these weekly reports can be found at http://cetehama.ucdavis.edu. When at this web page, select "Water /Irrigation Program" and then select "Weekly Soil Moisture Loss Reports". Each weekly soil moisture loss report is posted at this site including a two-page article with examples of how to use the report.

Bryce and Erin Bor- ror had a branding of their fall calves last Sat- urday with help of Josh and Marnie Davy, and his father Kevin Borror while I took pictures.

Bovi ShieldGold FP 5 VL 5 HB has strains of IBR, BVD Types 1 and 2, PI3, and BRSV including the 5 strains of Leptospira plus hardjo- bovis. Because the vac- cine is a modified live virus, it will cause the cows to abort if they are already bred. Each cow also The bull calves were banded by Josh, instead of using a knife for cas- tration. A band restricts blood supply to the scro- tum causing it to atrophy and eventually detach. The average time for detachment is 18-38 days. All calves were eartagged when they were born, and received 3 shots. Clostridial type C & D for temporary prevention of Clostridial enterotoxemia, a tetanus shot and BoSe, selenium for calves. received a booster shot of 8-way, to prevent black- leg, malignant edema, black disease, enterotx- emia, malignant edema, overeating disease and red water. These are the clostridial diseases. The third shot that Bryce and Josh were giving in the neck of each cow was Multi- Min, an injectable, chelated, supplemental source of zinc, man- ganese, selenium, and copper. Saturday, November 10, 2012 – Daily News 7A Erin was operating the hydraulic squeeze chute catching each cow, and Willie was applying the Dectomax. Lunch was not the typical branding lun- cheon, since we dined at the beautiful hand-craft- ed walnut table and on chairs that Bill Borror had made and gave them as their wedding gift. Erin had prepared a delicious beef chuck pot roast with roasted veg- etables, a toss green salad with pears, goat cheese, slivered almonds and dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar. Pump- kin muffins and choco- late chip cookies for dessert. The 60 calves were branded with a rocking b on the left hip by Erin. Bryce caught the hind legs with the rope since they used a left sided Teco calf table that was number 64, built in the late 40s that came from the Adin ranch. Marnie was catching the heads. Kevin kept the calves coming to be branded. Then when the calves are three to four weeks old they are vaccinated with Bovi Shield Gold 5 for preventing IBR, BVD virus types 1 and 2, PI3, BRSV.

Another shot of BoSe, since Tehama County is deficient in selenium. The commercial cows and calves were in the same pasture with the registered cows and calves, therefore the calves were vaccinated at that time. livestock to be healthy, and that is why we give our animals so many shots. Just like children, they need preventive vaccinations in their lives. A rancher wants his awaiting the rain so they too can move their cattle out on the range, since we need water in the creeks and gullies.
