Lost a steer this morning

Very depressing, I'm new to cattle and watch every day.

...bloat

How big a str? What are they eating? Sure he bloated then died or did he die then puff up?

 

[jrupp2022]

Close to 1000lbs...ugh. Not exactly sure. Last night walked away after feeding on grain. Walked my property and found in the morning. No signs buy definitely bloat, I even took pictures of hoe good that were doing.

He could have just died.

Are you feeding them anything besides grain?

1,000lbs, unless you changed feed on him I doubt it was bloat. If he walked away from feed he probably didn't feel good when he came up there. Could be quick pneumonia.
How big is you lot? Any chance of a freak thing like lightning?

Could be quick pneumonia.

Generally my first guess. OP didn't mention whether they were vaccinated.
