[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 1359030, member: 7398"] Yeah - so many ways to die..... We have so much lush grass here - even for summer - doc suspected grass tet but she has mineral with elevated mag and was on hay in my calving pasture. Maybe milk fever? Didn't really have any of the other signs of milk fever though. Seems rare for a beef cow. Vet will be here this morning. Plenty of time to stew about it. I agree that the worst part is not knowing. That said, this is the third downer like this in three years - though one was 15 years old and was going to be sent on her way after we weaned the calf she had on her. Sure seems like something is up though. [/QUOTE]
