Lost one

[Caustic Burno]

Had to dispatch a four day old heifer it was fine couple days ago. It could barely walk, having trouble with the left front leg and breathing. I think it got stepped on.
Something went wrong.
If you ain't got em you can't loose them.

That sucks.
Do you have any problems with selenium deficiency in your part of the country?

No, first I lost in a long time.
It's part of the game I hate.

Sounds like it got trampled. I have a PVC cast on one that I believe got stepped on last week. Leg was broke just above the hoof. We'll see if it works. Calf is about 250 lbs so may not heal like a newborn does.

All part of the game.

Aww man that really stinks!
A double whammy.

I understand about part of the game tho.
I've sent a couple I sure had high Hope's for.
Sorry to hear about that but it sounds like shes been around for a lil while anyway. 2011 sure doesnt seem like that long ago...
