[QUOTE="Bez!, post: 185947, member: 2830"] If I was riding through someones herd - or my own and saw an animal looking like that it would make me stop in my tracks. This guy is not happy. I believe he is soon to be in distress. ANd here is why. Head is down. Ears are low and back. Coat is rough and choppy. Coat looks thin in places. No lustre. Chin is tucked in and eyes are not showing lots of life. No I do not think he is sleepy. Shoulders looked hunched and back is swayed as compared to his lower pic. Hip bones are sticking out and his tail is not hanging loose - it is tucked in. I figure there is a problem from where you bought him - he is used to living the easy life - free choice grain. This guy will never hold up to a field job. You need to take him out of the pen with the cows, isolate him, find out what his vacc's are - and seeif they are up to date, if not get them there. He needs a vitamin shot and he needs some hi qual hay, mineral and some grain - no over load please he has been off it for some time now. This animal has lost about 200 - 300 plus pounds in my eye since he came to your place -either that or the lower pic is not really him. This animal looks ill and I would suggest he is quite likely listless as he moves about the herd. If you want to keep this guy it is time to move - or it is time to take him back. Either way you are not going to have good luck with this guy unless he gets better treatment. Over to you, Bez! [/QUOTE]
