[QUOTE="glacierridge, post: 978344, member: 19539"] We had one older animal this summer whose back legs swelled up with the heat spell. The vet said too much walking to get to water in the heat is harder on older animals. My dad said she should be shipped but we knew she was 1/2 through term. We opted to bring her in the barn. My nephew and I treated her legs with liniment several days to get the swelling down. Just came fresh with a lovely heifer a couple weeks ago, her big full sister and her will be momma's replacement, the old girl will be shipped now that her mission is complete. Great momma cow but can't risk another season when there is no promise next year will be better for weather conditions and have two nice young-ins to rise in her stead. Foot/leg problems are the worst and sometimes they make for hard decisions. [/QUOTE]
