[QUOTE="Stony Creek Cattle, post: 1429355, member: 28546"] Maybe somebody else can learn from my mistakes here. I will definitely try the electrolytes, my vet had me take some videos of the cattle and he was confident they had been overworked and dehydrated, advised me to give another round of steroids and keep feeding and watering them. This was a whole herd for sale and when I first looked at the them there was no indication any of them would be difficult, except for a big 1500 pound brangus, and I was going to carry her to the sale this week. The original owner did not feed them in the catch pen daily as I assumed he would before the pickup date. He said the brangus got a few more stirred up when he went to catch them and that is why there were a few he had to catch 2 days after the original herd. All the others are gentle, the brangus was the only bad one. I have talked to him, and he's clearly not a man of integrity, he has no intentions of returning any money if they die. I'll chalk it up to an expensive lesson learned, and I will continue to treat others with respect, be kind, and honest. It's unfortunate not everyone lives by that code. Thank you for y'alls help.
