[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1646445, member: 5381"] She was never intended to remain in the herd, just a stocker heifer I bought as part of a group in the spring to run through the growing season to go with my calves to give me larger loads to sell. All of the others in the group except her and one other performed as expected and have left the farm. As mentioned she has been a poor do'er. She never shed her hair off completely this summer. Now that fall has arrived her coat actually looks pretty good. Since I had her up by the pens yesterday and this is something I have not seen before, I loaded her up to see what the local vet would say. She tried to drain the udder but only could get a few chunks of pus out of three of the teats. She thinks the heifer has other disorders and would require expensive tests and treatments to fix and since the heifer is has very little value and been such a poor performer, cutting my losses would be the best step going forward. I tend to agree. The heifer had a temp of 104.7 at the vet. Incidentally she was more active yesterday and looked better so maybe the antibiotic that I gave her is at least making her feel better.
