[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11242"] Reading the board the past months I keep hearing about multiple incidents of very serious cattle illnesses and other problems that "may" be due to poor breeding stock, poor environmental conditions (e.g., dirty facilities, etc.), multiple and/or sequential debilitating illnesses and/or deaths, etc. As most folks should recognize, these situations are NOT normal for livestock!
