[QUOTE="oneal14200, post: 1328379, member: 25255"] I have a 2 year old brahma heifer that was fat & healthy when we bought her (she was going to be shown but then didn't make the cut), she was fed with the others that came with her and they all adjusted just fine, then we had a bad storm and when we got home she was laying down not wanting to get up, vet came out and said she must have gotten zapped, but it didn't kill her. Since then she has lost significant weight, we feed her every day and she's been wormed with pour on and feed through. She comes up to feed every evening, but then every now and then she will just lay out in the pasture only moving to follow the rest of the herd. She gained quite a bit of weight, the we put them all over to the pasture next door for less than a week with a ton of great new grass - she lost all the weight and we are back where we started. Most days she acts like a normal cow, grazing like a lawn mower and comes up to feed every evening, then like I said there will be a couple of days here and there that she just lays around, only getting up to follow the herd. I have tried everything that I can possibly think of and no one can figure out what the problem is - anyone here have any suggestions?? She's a great cow, my wife is determined to help her get healthy. BTW, all of our other cows are super healthy and the older ones have since calved with great great calves. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
