[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1428724, member: 25884"] With no other info, sounds first off that they are stressed from them having to use dogs and horses to catch them. If the weather there has been hot, I would say dehydration is a very good possibility. Did you get any kind of guarantee since they had to "rodeo" to get the cows caught and then had to deliver them? Maybe they got hurt in the "catching up" process? Making sure they get plenty of water is ESSENTIAL. Dehydration will cause the muscles to "fail" and not be able to co-ordinate their ability to get up or to walk without falling down. There could be any number of other things, but stress from the catching/moving and the heat would be a good way to start.... What about body temp? If all other signs are "normal" and no temp, then I would suspect heat/catching stress and dehydration first....If they aren't up tomorrow, a call to the vet and the previous owner are my next suggestions. Keep us posted and good luck. [/QUOTE]
