[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14753"] Usually you think of a potty looking animal as getting poor quality forage, plenty of if but just not good enough. We had a heifer that was potty till she turned a yearling, now she is perfectly normal looking. Same nutrition as everybody else. So it may be a nutrition thing or it may be a worm thing, or it could be genetics. Lots of help huh? Wouldn't hurt to have him checked again month or so before you plan on starting to use him. Lots can happen in the summer months. dunmovn farms > I have recently switched to an > angus bull.
