[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 693805, member: 3162"] You are entitled to your opinion and have the right to think exactly as you have stated. There were over 17000 animals at the sale barn when I brought that bunch here to background. Those calves I bought had been exposed to practically everything, under stress in the summer heat. Pnuemonia broke out, in August heat, while they were being backgrounded. We were having 100 degree days. If I would have followed your thinking, I would have dug 37 holes and lost that group. I know of 4 in this forum who can tell you a story of buying a group of calves and all died. As I said, you are entitled to your opinions. Just remember who reads this forum. What climate do you live in? They may follow your advice and not do anything. Pnuemonia in the summer can kill just about all of the calves they buy, in this climate. "Shipping fever" if you prefer that name. You might also note the suggestion I made to talk to the vet at the salebarn and have things done before you put them in the trailer to haul them home. You might also note bez's advice above which referred to this link: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=59728&p=692969#p692969 [/QUOTE]
