[QUOTE="Alice, post: 254009, member: 3873"] No, the calf isn't in a corral. She's in a large area that has the same amount of vegetation as the rest of the farm has right now, minus what she and the others have grazed down...and that vegetation is as dry and crumbly as anything I've ever in my life seen. I wouldn't be at all surprised that the pneumonia she has is caused by irritation from all the dried up crap that blows around in the air. And, wouldn't you know, we've had days with high wind, on top of everything else. I guess she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and got a lungful of whatever it was. It's just so horribly dry here. Ya' know, tho, a sprinkler wouldn't be a bad idea...even tho there's no loose dirt (the ground is cement hard), there's plenty of loose vegetation that gets kicked up just by walking thru it...and a sprinkler my settle that. In fact, I have a big soaker hose...I think I'm gonna spread that thing out tomorrow and move it from time to time. Thanks for the suggestion...and thanks for the crossed fingers. :) Alice [/QUOTE]
