[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 372829, member: 839"] I agree with Randiliana and RAB. For starters, that 160 lb'er was/is probably only about 5 to 6 weeks old. Pretty much too young to be without milk. The 280's aren't much better off. Good chance they were weaned the day they hit the sale. That equals stress. Being cut at that time equals more stress. Their bodies and immune systems very stressed. Have you observed them using the molasses tub? What is the protein content? By the sounds of this, especially the littlest one, lack of proper nutrition (for a baby) and stress are the root of their troubles. Thereby making them susceptible to any opportunistic 'germs' that they come across or were exposed to at the sale. Get them up, check their temps, check their breathing (how does it sound, is it labored, etc.) then take that info, call your vet and see what they suggest. JMHO Katherine [/QUOTE]
