calf sloshing

[jtbakv]

so I buy me a 300lb heifer at sale barn 2 weeks ago with a big belly really cheap .50lb just to make a few dollars on. So a day before sale day I put her up with no feed or water to see if her belly would go down. it did and she looked alot better however she sloshes when she walks, it sounds like a water bottle being shaken. When her belly was full no sloshing. She was eating and drinking like normal. would she have a tear or hole in bladder tube or something. I would think she would be dead if that was the case. anyone came across anything like that. by the way she sold for .93lb

Just like a half full bottle. It will slosh because there is room for whatever is left there to move. With her full there was no room for anything to move. :) Looks like you have traded one or two before.
