[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1836447, member: 24816"] I’d been thinking the cow was sick by her walking with her head low and moving so slow. I’ve got the new cows and calves separated in a lot from the other cattle and plan in keeping it that way especially now with this blind one until we can pound her out after getting her calf weaned. The lot they are in has a small side door opening into a barn shed. It’s a big step up for cattle, even though I’ve got some concrete blocks to give them a step, The two cows had gotten separated this morning with the good cow already in the barn, I called the blind cow and she came towards where I was there in the door way of the barn. She walks real slow with her head down and nose pointed out. When she bumps into something she moves over and tries again. She didn’t find the door on her own. It’s taken me a while to figure out she’s blind. I’m sure she followed the other cows when offloaded at the stockyards and the workers were probably like me they never caught it. I believe whoever sold her knew it and deliberately nested her in a group. They probably originally bought her for next to nothing and then made money by selling her like that to an idiot like me.
