Do you get this in the US or Canada? Here in Australia its called three day sickness. It lasts usually for three days but can be longer. The cattle behave like humans with the "flu" or a bad cold. They have sore limbs and are very listless. I have a show steer with it at the moment. I immunize all our bulls as it can cause temporary infertility.Often only one animal in a paddock will have it an no other will get it. Its spread by midges or mosquitos.
