[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11320"] One of our cows calved last week. This is her first calf. She's a fairly small Hereford, but she did well. About a month prior to her calving she started to itch terribly and rub off patches of hair on her shoulders and her neck. I figured it was a combo of her being uncomfortable and it being spring - starting to warm up a little and all. Well she's still itching. I'm starting to wonder if she's got a parasite or something. But none of the other cows are acting like that and her calf isn't itchy. She's not got a very large bag either, and her calf is constantly trying to get more when there doesn't seem to be more to get. (he's growing though, and plenty energetic) I wonder if she'd produce more milk if she weren't stressed by whatever is making her itch so bad. Any ideas? Thanks.
