[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 1321320, member: 6734"] Have a yearling bull that escaped with 4 other yearlings into a new pasture of fresh grass. They weren't "hungry" so grain wouldn't bring them in. Storm was coming in so fixed the gate and waited for them to come in under the shed & out of the rain to trap them. They were on grass less than 24 hours....maybe more like 12. ONE of the escapees is now showing early signs of grass tetany (though theres both a hi mag block and salt block in their pen). There is NO WAY to treat this animal via IV without totally stressing him out (he would have to be separated/pinned and moved to the other barn where the chute is) so I'm thinking we'll have to put him down here shortly (right now is just staggering and up/down a lot)... Looking ahead... is there any reason not to butcher him? 1st case of grass tetany. SUCKS. [/QUOTE]
