Hi, since everyone was most helpful with my other question I thought I would ask the experts another one! I bought 2 - 4 y/o bred cows last month due to calve in mid March. They had mixed in well with the others until yesterday. When I went to feed I noticed one of them hanging around some mud puddles, drinking water and not really interested in what I was doing with the hay. This morning I went out to check and she was laying by the water trough as I walked up and rubbed her on the head, she got up, but I had never touched her before except when she was vacc. When I went out to feed tonight she was over by the other water trough laying as I walked over she got up and got a drink, I gave her some sweet feed, after studying the feed she took one bite then turned away and got some more water. Her nose looked wet but she was drinking so I'm not sure if it's runny or if it's just water from the trough. She just seems to stay by herself close to water and she doesn't look like she has the weight the other on has. Any ideas??
