[QUOTE="lemonhead7233, post: 1289555, member: 24506"] So, I purchased my first steer. He is a angus/brangus cross and he weighs about 565 pounds. Anyways, I just got him on Saturday and he is eating very little, he is however drinking water. I figured he just needs to get used to his surroundings. Then on morning of the third day, it was the first cold morning, he had a clear discharge coming from his nose but nothing from his eyes. I figured you get runny noses when its cold. Then I checked on him during the day and the runny nose was cleared up. Now this morning on his fifth day, he is still eating very little and had a runny nose. Manure does not look like diarrhea. He is very alert still and aware of his surroundings. If he is laying down he gets up to see what's going on but I am concerned he is not eating enough. I even tried to entice him with some Sweet COB and wont even touch it. So I guess my question is whether this is normal, is he getting sick, depressed, or am I over analyzing the situation. [/QUOTE]
