[QUOTE="ROCK-N-W, post: 363560, member: 5247"] Thats what I meant as selling only as slaugter, I would contact the livestock market and ask first, they might not even take him. but first I need to be sure of the diagnosis. I really would never sell any animal to another rancher that I would not keep for myself. That said, It is my word which is my bond... The symptoms are quick wait loss, diahrea, runny nose, he stays in water to keep himself cool, he can hardley walk without effort, I walked him all the way to the pens by placing my hand on his backside and guiding him straight into the shoot with no resistance. This is the third time He has dropped down like this, I did haul him to a vet who took blood & stool samples, but he improved after he was medicated. After some TLC & he regained his weight. After about 8 weeks I turned him back out into herd. He now looks like a bag of bones again he was refusing to eat anything except the wet vegatation outa swamp area. Monday I gave him A shot of La 200 & went ahead and wormed him again, he was wormed in Nov of last year. Tuesday I gave him 4 tabs of terramyican and also put some of the same powder into his drinking water, with a package of Kick start which is basically vitimated suger water for energy, Like putting in a IV PICK EM UPPER, to try to get him eating. and moving. Today he was moving better and had eaten all of his feed & meds that I had left, I also gave him a vitamina A-D shot today put more antibiotics in his water &. we will see tommorrow how he is. but even if I save his butt, I need to find out what is the cause. As soon as I can get someone to answer a ph I will talk to breeder and ask that he come get his bull and refund my payment. The other bull his brother is fat happy and working hard? [/QUOTE]
