I have said many times when you think you have things sorta figu out with cattle they will teach you just how wrong you are. Jacob and E went to get her show steer out after church yesterday and Jacob said the calf just wasn't acting right. He watched him for awhile and couldn't figure out what was going on not something any of us had seen. He called our vet who said it sounded like bladder stones so Jacob hauled him over. They did emergency surgery poor guy was about to explode his bladder. They had to do surgery to save him. I had heard of this but never had actual experience. i found a couple articles about it last night. The calf was still eating hay when Jacob hauled him to the vet he is back home and doing fine but I don't recommend standing too close behind him in case he needs to pee. https://www.iowabeefcenter.org/bch/UrinaryCalculi.pdf
