[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 773086, member: 8993"] The calves are 225 to 325 lb heifers. Bought Monday and by Tuesday afternoon one was coughing and another was bloated. The one that was bloated also had a tag mark on it meaning that it had already been on a market sometime recently. I bet both had been. I usually don't buy any calves in the summer but needed to fill this order. More trouble than it is worth. The calves are in a dry lot with very little grass. They are eating dry hay for the first several days. They have good cool water and plenty of shade. Give the bloated one about 3/4 qt of mineral oil last night and it is doing fine today. Stool is firm and she is eating. I doctored the one that was coughing last night and she seems fine tonight also. Hope they are ok because I need the lot to wean some calves next week. [/QUOTE]
