Any blood around the mouth? humped-up backs? Could be metal in the hay, do ya have magnets in their stomachs? Id have a vet come look. [Reply]   [No Email]

B,, 01-15-2013 21:17:30   lets see. beef cattle a vet did come out.. but he uses a different vet than I do.. so I'm not familiar with the vet. i don't kow if he had magnets in the stomache or not.. he has kids that hand feed hay out.. so maybee no metal. I wasn't the one who saw it dead.. I was out feeding out some round bales and saw the commotion and walked over tot he fence to see what happened.. in case it was something infectious I needed to watch my cows for. [Reply]  [No Email]
