[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1721803, member: 39373"] I saw the pair unloaded at the barn. Made up my mind I was gonna buy em right then and there. I just couldn't NOT have another project I guess. A lil later on I chatted with the owner on a smoke break. He said he didn't know why she was like that and she started going downhill after calving. Said he had her on "liquid feed", whatever that was. I didn't ask too many questions but should have. One thing I've ran across, is if a cow retains the placenta they can go downhill like that for no apparent reason. Especially if the cowman isn't doing his job and checking his animals occasionally. Neither here nor there, but the thought entered my mind. He told them specifically to sell them as a pair. When they split em up, i bought the calf. Then the bidding started on the cow and it went a little further than I really wanted to go. I actually stopped! But I ended up putting the pair back together anyway and here we are.... I don't know what else she had to eat besides "liquid feed" but pretty sure it wasn't much. It was definitely a bad situation for her. But I'll get her going again. Someone will love her once she's back in shape. [/QUOTE]
