[QUOTE="Seamfloater, post: 1408596, member: 27787"] We have helped raise beef on occasion at the in laws house, but this is our firt here at home from scratch. Normally I would read and read and aread to not waste peoples time, but since we are talking about an animal, I need quicker info. We bought a 5 month old jersey/angus cross yesterday. She was a bottle baby, and with several other cLfs her age and younger. Brought her home and she seemed a little listless to me. Figured maybe it was the 5 mile trailer ride home. Wasnt real interested in grain or grass hay. Today is about the same. Not interested in eating and stood/layed in the corner of the pasture. When I got home I pushed her back down towards the barn and she drank alot at least. No signs of dehydration. However she still walks a little drunk for a 5 month old in my humble opinion based on nothing more than gut feeling. She has a little snot color goop in her eyes as well as some mucus in the nose. Im going to keep her in the barn for the night, but I feel shes not going to just start eating all of a sudden. Im thinking a shot of LA200 incase??? Could she be lonely too, we have been out there a bunch, I would have bought two but the others were not ready yet or were straight dairy breeds. Help? Thank you so much in advance! [/QUOTE]
