Hi All,
I have a 600lb 6 month Belted Galloway bull we bought at auction in November. Trailered fine, eating, gaining, etc until December. Cold damp weather hit, he's indoors on pack and dry bedding, he tanked. Lost 200+ lbs by January. Vet has hit him with Macrosyn 2x, banamine 10x, and florifenicol 2x. He gets good is 20 degree or colder weather, we were 50 below in early December and Early Jan, he was great, now 40 above and losing everything he gained again. No fever, no runny nose, raspy breathing, dry cough, solid manure, drinking fine, no appetite some days fine others. Any ideas! I'm at a loss, it's our sons first purchase as a 19 yr old and entering cattle by himself. We have 20+ head on the farm and he's the only 1 down.
