[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1753393, member: 32879"] I recently sold a older weigh cow that had lost her calf for over $1500. Sitting at the yards with money and a trailer made me eager to buy something to replace her. Bought a thin 1st calf heifer with a bull calf for well under what the old cow had brought. Well, to start off she kicked back as she jumped on the trailer and hit her calf in the jaw and a huge knot ensued. I unloaded them in a barn where I could isolate them a few days and treat the calf. I gave the calf some antibiotics and he looked a little thin but OK. Well, the weather turned hot and the calf stayed in the shade. It now looks to me the calf was a "lunger" when I bought him and survives but does not thrive. In changeable weather he has discharge from his nose. How much of a threat is he to the other calves?
