[QUOTE="Boomers, post: 1631380, member: 40213"] The body score could absolutely be wrong. I lack knowledge and an able to make mistakes. The vet admitted hes not a cow vet usually. Since he doesnt deal with many. No the hay was not tested. I bought 1st cutting from my main grower a few months before it was cut. Luck had it when it was cut we recieved a lot of rain in days that made it impossible to dry between storms. It wasnt the growers fault mother nature decided to rain. So I stacked it in the back. Once it was baled. And bought from another grower to feed my animals. It was $200 because I kept 20 of their cows on my pasture for free. For a year. I fed them in winter with hay they supplied. Their cows were returned healthy and they were informed when I noticed any bump lump or ? Out of the norm. I checked and counted daily. So breeding to their bull and my cow there was supposed to be free. But I did not like they hay so I gave it too them. Then when I picked her up they wanted $200 . Which I paid.
