[QUOTE="Rahe Family Belties, post: 1137757, member: 18193"] Had a similar event with a crossbred cow. She wound up with fescue poisoning. Sorry, I forget what we had to treat her with, but she did recover. Maybe the hay is endophyte-infected fescue and she is not acclimated to it. She still struggles in hot weather, liking to stand in water tanks. I avoid fescue as much as possible. Fans help, along with clipping their long hair off bellies, necks and heads. A funny looking clipped cow is much more valuable than a dead one with hair. I would also avoid feeds that produce too much heat(corn and other grains). Be patient in trying to put weight on her. As mentioned above, a good worming would not hurt. We'd love to see pix! [/QUOTE]
