    I would also make dry hay available to him. Keep good blocks out for him as well.I love the Super R block that Purina makes.

    Bull or Steer?

    I'll check with another vet. This vet won't even sell me banamine. But he will sell me Micotil. He said Banamine and ladicane had to be given by a vet.

    Bull Help

    I wouldn't doubt if someone put something in him to lock him up.I have heard of people doing that to a scouring calf before.Then sell as fast as they can .Then its your problem when and if it does scour again. I would say you probably have more problems here than just the lock up.

    Bull or Steer?

    I use the knife and have had very good luck with it. I know there has to be pain for the animal and I asked my vet about purchasing some of that numbing medicine. He said NO in no time short, I believe it would be better for the animal but I can't go to pay a vet every time I need a bull...

    Vomitting Calf

    Your bloaters are always big eaters it seems to me. I got a big group in last year and it had one like that. Its not right something is messed up on the inside. That is probably why he is thin. I sold mine and about broke even. I doubt a calf like that will ever ammount to anything.

    gluten

    Corn is high. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not but I would think so. The place I buy my feed just raised prices on all feed across the board.They said it went up and they have to pass it on. It could be associated with the gasahol ethanol craze that is now taking place.

    Sick steer

    I agree with you that you should keep a close watch on your cattle for all those signs of sickness and that catching them early enough you will have a positive outcome 9 out of 10 times.But we are not talking about one of those cases here. I was just wondering if anyone had any firsthand info on...

    I'm sorry I missed the 2-6 weeks of sickness. Cherry leaves wouldn't take that long either.After looking back at the symptoms I don't think we have enough information to help out here.With the info given here it could be any number of things. If the owner isn't familier with IBR BVD that sounds...
