[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 122378, member: 13"] Anaplas is spread by biting insects. If your cow has it, it can be spread to the rest of the herd. But healthy young cattle don't usually get sick from anaplas. It's a disease that affects the ability of the red blood cells to carry oxygen. A young cow like yours should be making so many red blood cells that she won't show symptons. Lots and lots of cattle have had a mild case of anaplas while they're young and then are immune to it for the rest of their lives. If one cow in your herd had it, it's likely the rest of the herd was exposed at the same time and had already developed immunity. So, no, I wouldn't sell her. Penumonia in cows can be treated with a good antibiotic. There is a lot of info on the web about the disease. You might do a search and read up on it. By the way, a heifer is a young female that has never had a calf. Your three year old with her second calf is now a cow. Good luck... [/QUOTE]
