[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 922133, member: 5381"] I had an old broke mouth cow that also had a breathing problem. She wheezed like an air compressor. She really deteriorated in last years drought and got down to about 800 lbs. Calved out a poor looking pot bellied bull calf in September. I was embarrassed to have her on my place. I brought her home to keep her off the bull and put her on a little better pasture. The neighbors that drove by made fun of me for the skinny cow in my front pasture. I thought she might have Johne's disease. Gave her a few cubes and let out in my yard this spring on grass that I needed to mow. She and the calf dramatically improved. Sold both last week. The cow weighed 950 and brought .83 lb. The steer calf weigh 565 and brought $1.57. The wife said that was the best management decision you have made. [/QUOTE]
