New to the board as a member, but been reading for sooo long, have learned sooo much..... thanks to all the 'learned" and experienced folks out there, your experiences don't become my mistakes!
But, I could not help but to accept an offer of several Angus cattle out of a closed, and I do mean closed herd ( line breeding, ie : inbreeding), several cows showing signs of hump backs and odd walking gates were offered at a low, low price, The history is that they all raised fine calves in the past,
I brought them to our farm, and they remain in an isolated paddock, as they have never ever seen wormer or vacines before this week............my question- Have I read correctly in past topics that Angus sometimes inherit such a malady? If so, any relief? If this is a more accute problem, any ideas as to how it may be happening, and how one fixes the problem?
Now mind you, I am not complaining, I knew what I was getting, and : because I am practicly stealing these animals that seem to otherwise be in rather good condition, BUT it is unerving to see them in such a condition, that may possibly be corrected? Any ideas?
