[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1478446, member: 25884"] I would say some sort of stray voltage also. Getting a shock of some sort when he touches the water. Maybe try a black fortex rubber bucket and see if he can drink from it. If so, then it is definitely some sort of electrical shock. Or try taking him out of the barn and seeing if he drinks water elsewhere. If so, again some sort of stray electrical voltage. What about eating? Is he eating hay or grain? If so then it is definitely in the electrical being conducted to the water in some way. Other than that, call the vet if he still won't drink. Question, why a yearling brown swiss bull ? Are you planning on a dairy or something? The reason why I ask is you say you are new to this board and new to farming. A yearling bull is the last thing I would suggest a new to farming person start with. Not trying to be critical.... but dairy bulls are not what I would suggest anyone have unless they are experienced and have plenty of girlfriends to keep him happy..... [/QUOTE]
