[QUOTE="jillaroo, post: 968618, member: 9683"] We had a steer go down in the feedlot. He was bright and alert with loads of try. The vet had a look at him and it was decided to salvage slaughter him. When the spine was split into the two halves of beef, we had our answer as to what caused this steer to go down suddenly; he had a small abscess in his spine. The abscess was likely a result of being grain fed and having a slight bout of acidosis. The bacteria were able to escape the rumen into the bloodstream and settle into other areas of the body. Good luck, downers suck. :? [/QUOTE]
