[QUOTE="Knapview, post: 161695, member: 3114"] Rod - your message is very timely for us here :frowns: . We had a calf that the vet had to put down yesterday and it looks like it's Ergot. Our vet didn't have a lot of info as he said he's only seen it once or twice in his life. This picture of the calf feet with the pastern and hoof sloughing off is exactly what this calf had. We're the same as far as frostbite - it's been balmy here all winter so we knew it wasn't that. Now we have to figure out where it's coming from and exactly how much damage it's done in the rest of the herd. We have a first calf heifer that was due early April - she started to spring up about a week and a half ago and the vet thinks that the calf is dead and she's getting ready to dump it (we were already kind of suspecting that) - we're wondering if it's dead as a result of ergot poisoning & it makes us more than a little worried about where we headed next. Please keep me posted how you make out. Good luck. Deb [img]http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/plantsci/crops/pp551-5.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
