[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 1115704, member: 6734"] OK.. well, lets go ahead and throw the "nutrition" aspect out the window because my cattle (even my other old gal 14) are all in good shape... here's a picture I took yesterday morning when I was taking pictures of Granny (because I knew this would come up)...these are the few that were up at the feeder...everyone else was still sleeping...LOL [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/March17Girls.jpg[/img] I KNOW the problem... and as I stated early on...she calved in mid May last year...a bullcalf that sucked the life out of her and she went INTO winter in less than prime condition. With winter being especially cold/snowy/windy AND with her teeth most likely beginning to or already failing, she just didn't make it through winter as well as everyone else. My fault in this, and I realize, is not pulling her from the herd SOONER than I did. Thanks to all who've offered constructive words of encouragement... The vet is calling me back to let me know when they'll be here so I'll let you know what she says...and yes, she's a good large animal vet who does the farm calls for the practice in our area...I trust her.
