i hate askin this cuz its one of those questions that the oldtimers complain about.but....
tonite when i get home i find that one of our feeder heifers died. went and looked at her. she was bloated big time. ok so i think of possible causes. which could be anything. current feedats, soy hull pellet, and free choice brome hay. the hay is fresh, just baled this pass weekend. but it was pretty dry when it was cut, it layed there a couple of day before gettin baled, and then it sat there a couple of days before it got fed. im wonderin if the brome is too green?? i kinda doubt it. these guys are approximatly around 400 pounds. so then i think of black leg. looked up the symptoms and it kinda sounds like it. but still preying that its just bloat. crap, now what do i do??
