[QUOTE="BayerFooted, post: 1665687, member: 41503"] Steamroller!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣You have no idea how big I smiled reading about your voluptuous ladies. I LOVE big rolly poley cows, and horses (I have a Belgian cross) and dogs (Rottweilers). I realize it's unrealistic to have a herd of 1700 pound cows though haha! I just looked at the three I lost who started life as calfcicles, and I don't have anything written in saying they showed symptoms but treated them proactively with Zactran to thwart any onset. They we're also delayed receiving colostrum and if they were chilled, they may have burned through their brown fat really fast as well. Maybe it set them up for poor immunity. This thread actually helped me pull out the WHOLE records and going through, it's fascinating (not in a positive manner) how many of the cows my FIL had that we obtained had short ears from 2007 and met the same fates in 2012 and 2013.
