[QUOTE="South of Dallas, post: 606556, member: 8330"] I guess I should have given a little more detail about the old cow. What I was really looking for was any ideas about why she wasn't drinking - didn't know if there might be something somebody else may have experienced along those lines. And no, I did not call the vet, she was to old. She was a little over 14 years old, still had good teeth, good feet and like I said, she produced a good calf every year. She was just old - nothing a vet could do about that. I've still got about a half dozen similar old cows (some of my originals) that I keep in my herd - I figure if they are only worth $0.15 - 0.20/lb and will still breed then they are welcome to stay around until something changes. I may not use the vet - other than to buy meds - but I do manage my herd as humanely as I can. When I found her this morning I didn't need to load my 0.38, nature took care of that for me. Needless to say, I have enjoyed reading this forum for many years and I respect the opinions given. Thanks to those who took the time. [/QUOTE]
