[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 26900, member: 57"] I agree Jake, it has been a crappy year. and with random occurences. we had 3 cases of foot rot (so we thought) and then a cows teats started to rot off and so we found out it was ergot poisoning instead, the kind that causes gangrene. the first calves of the year were a set of dead twins out of one of my favorite cows and they were like a month early. a 2nd calf heifer aborted. we had two premature calves, 1 died. then we had a breech we had to pull but it was ok. one cow lost a calf for no apparent reason, it was a week old and nursing. another cow drowned in the pond. another one of my favorite cows (brangus) had a calf and it wouldnt nurse. we put them up in the pen and she fretted herself to death. i was ready to throw in the towel that day. somehow we are still batting 95% as far as calves go. i guess i'll hang in there. :mad: [/QUOTE]
