[QUOTE="TNfamilyfarm, post: 480851, member: 5142"] Pneumonia, upper resp infections(URI) are the common illnesses in cattle.unless its a small calf a temp is out of the question. Do you have a chute in the barn? Yes, put him in it and give some antibiotics (see previous post). No, this is the hard way! have plenty of help, lasso his head and rope him to a strong post. once there you can halter him to the post. The help should grab his tail and pull it to the side until on his back. Holding it there, will keep him from kicking. what type of grain and how much does he usually get? to much is not a good thing. If it's not an URI then Check on selenium deficiency in your area. They make shots for that. [/QUOTE]
