[QUOTE="hillbillycwo, post: 729069, member: 13747"] Thanks for the advice. The cow went to the feed bunk like normal. Determined to get her fair share. She shows no real symptoms of sickness other than a lack of interest in the hay. As I am not in the area and am taking a huge risk by relying on family to watch over my cows I tried to mitigate risk by buying young stock to calve in spring when the grass greens up. I have had success in the past doing this but on a smaller scale. I feel that my cows are being watched closely enough by family and that this particular cow has ingested something she should not have or is being bullied at the bale or maybe she slipped a calf and is fighting an infection. Are these plausible for the weight loss? She is not nor does she appear close to going down like it is serious. I just believe in getting an early start and we are very particular about our cattle...especiallly ones that we are using as base stock for the future. Thanks again. Lee [/QUOTE]
