[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 211495, member: 539"] Edit: After re-thinking the problem, the first thing I would do is get her in the chute and check her teeth and for blisters or sores in her mouth. Depending on what I found, I would go looking for the source. The usual culprits in hay are beards (wheat heads, barley heads, etc.) foxtail, cheat grass, needle grass, and there is another kind that I can't remember the name of. I doubt that your hay is the problem, because if there was something in there you would probably have more than one heifer/cow off feed. But, better to be thorough. Is she showing any signs of being tender-footed or lame along with being off feed? Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
