[QUOTE="danl, post: 1494856, member: 229"] I have a corral with a working chute and a Priefert head catch. I've owned cattle for most of my 60 years. Long time ago figured out had to have facilities to handle cattle especially since I'm a one man operation. Getting a vet out is next to impossible around here. New young vet moved in and contacted a friend of mine who has a larger operation, he gets $500.00 to show up. I use two vets, both are a little older than me, one no longer does farm visits, the other will but since I can't insure that I can even pen this cow up, I have not called her. I have to have an appointment to take to the one who no longer makes calls, but there again I need to be able to show up.. She does not appear sick, just doesn't want to eat feed. And she evidently isn't getting enough protein from hay based on the appearance of her manure. If she gets to the point of appearing to suffer I will put her down. Not feasible to have a large vet bill on a maybe $200.00 cow. I am hoping that the clover that is starting to come up will appeal to her. [b]And maybe someone on here knows of an absolutely irresistible type of cow feed...[/b] [/QUOTE]
