    To give an update, the vet came out a few times and ended up giving us scripts for a different antibiotic each time neither one seemed to improve their sores.

    Fescue tox?

    Good morning, I noticed a problem with one group of cattle this morning while feeding. The group is mostly heifers with a few older cows that were open.
