[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1137783, member: 18809"] Some symptoms of fescue poisoning include tenderness in the rear legs when they get up. The analogy used is it is like when your feet fall asleep, and you try to walk. It tingles and hurts. It progresses to sloughing off the actual foot. How long have you had this bull and has he been on fescue his entire life? I would venture to say it is not fescue, and your last resort should be to put him down. I would try a heavy dose of LA 200 first. If it is foot rot, it will clear up in 48 hours. If it does not get better, then put him down. He might have just injured his leg in that area and you are seeing trauma to the localized tissues because of it. A clearer picture would be easier to detect... But good luck either way... [/QUOTE]
