Checked the cattle this am, found an 800 lb steer
Two years ago we had a cow give birth to a stillborn calf. We buried it and the cow was looking for it. It was so sad. I get upset when I think about it. Last year, though, the same cow gave birth to a healthy little bull.holly heifer":1mjjmc0p said:

No apparent reason, I am taking him to the diagnostic lab
tomorrow. He is frozen and in the bed of my truck. I will
post the results of the post! ( no pun intended! :shock
What a shame---- one of my nicest steers. :x

Death rate is approx. 100%. Usually the youngest fastest growing between 6 mo. and 2 yrs. Usually an outbreak occurs in the warmer months between spring and fall. Little or no value comes of treatment when they are sick, but a few early cases may respond to antibiotics such as tetracyclines or penicillin.Beefy":27tfcd3n said:
Got him to the lab- his legs were sticking up in the air-- Should have report by weeks end. He had been vaccinated for everything.holly heifer":2iqfkodp said:
