Store cattle

[Bossfarmer]

I put the last of store cattle out the other day they were younger and not long weaned so i kept them in, one of them sitting away on its own today very low energy got up slowly and walked away when i went over to it didnt run as they normally would, its been bolused and covexined the other week so cant think what would be wrong with it?? Anyone experienced this?

No idea at this stage to be honest. Does it look like it has been scouring at all?

Maybe the stress of going out has flared up an under lying pneumonia problem, if it's a bad dooer it might have had it when it was a calf? Could be anything so sticking random drugs in it is a bit pointless , get it in and take temp or ring the vet if your worried about it.

Id thought mabye bn bullied by the bigger ones once it joined them, i might go and bring it in it might recover itself but mabye safer not to chance it

Nope

I thought that was the law?

 

[jamesy]

Even here in Orkney where we were early adopters of endeavouring to clear bvd from our herds there would still be one or two that's not clear yet.
