[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 931455, member: 14563"] Ok, so I got the pinkeye problem of last week handled and now I have another opportunity for personal growth. My animals are moved daily and checked one other time each day. Saturday morning I moved them to a new paddock. Everyone was fine, no lagging animals or any signs that were a cause for concern. Saturday evening my guy onsite called and said that one of our steers was dead (8cwt angus). No external signs, no swelling, nothing in it's mouth. Just dead. My first concern was Johnson grass as there was some in the new paddock. However, there has been varying amounts of it in each paddock for the last week. The conditions don't seem right, from what I have read, and none of the other 55 animals were affected. Unfortunately, I am rattled. There are clumps of Johnson grass ahead in our moves. Part of me says it wasn't the JG, but a part of me is concerned that it could have been. I had my guy move a few animals in to the new paddock today as a test and he hasn't called - I'll take that as a good sign. Thoughts? Some parts of the learning curve seem really steep. I have read the posts on here regarding JG and the views vary greatly. [/QUOTE]
