[QUOTE="bizybeehill, post: 124207, member: 1089"] Well partner, You need to tell us the age, the weight, weaned, not weaned, weaned on the truck, feed you give them, and so on. With what you told me these could be 150 pound animals or 500 pound animals. They might not know how to eat and drink, or they might know how. Coat condition? Rough, smooth, wiry or silky? Ribs showing? Lots or just a bit? Sharp feeling under hand when running over the hips? Neck feel bony when you run your hand over it? Eyes clear and bright? Eyes sunken - literally a space around the eyeball? Provide info and we MAY be able to provide answers. Pics with explanation are even better. Regards Bez'[/quote] Ok here it goes. They avg 475lbs, They were weaned prior to comming to the sale barn. The didnt bawl much when we got them home, Not sure when they were weaned. Thier coat is kind of wiry and thick Just a bit of rib showing Neck does not feel bony, when I gave them the shot, fetl well muscled, skin was nice and tight, not loose... Eyes look good, bright and not sunken. We started them on some average grass hay and about 1-2lb of sweet feed to get em used to comming to the pen to eat. Whats comming out of them is real watery My ( beginner ) impression is that they are in good condition overall, they have a bright healty look to them, except the diarrea. When I checked them this morning before I went to work they had cleaned up all of thier hay, feed and looked like they had drank a little better. Maybe I'm worried about nothing but I just dont want to wait till they are down before we try to help em. [/QUOTE]
