    3rd ill heifer

    This is my third heifer this year with this problem. The vets have never seen anything like it. Mostly occurs on one side of the face, swelling and possibly blindness. The white skin on nose and face comes off. The heifers were in different goups but adjacent fields. Any ideas?

    Straw and slats

    I tried using straw through a west small bale chopper in my cubicles last year but it wouldnt go through the slats. Would milled straw be any better? Are there any other options?

    no sure about your 'too tight ligament ' comment, I remember reading an article about type and lifetime production. There was no correlation between all type traits(udder attachment, capacity, feet and legs etc) and life time yield except for strength of ligament.
