[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1841428, member: 25884"] Hi, and welcome to the forum. One suggestion... take a fecal sample to the vet and have it tested for worms. We had a few cows with small calves get thin in a group and had fecals done and some were carrying a heavy worm load... normally we have no problem with that in the adult beef cows. Last year was not a "normal year" ... drought up here in VA and other areas, and some places had more rain. Although temps probably don't get real cold where you are, we have had a little cold snap but it is warmer than normal now so things like that will proliferate it seems. Agree on testing the hay. The extension agent in your area can tell you where to get it sent also. And if you are feeding that much pellets she might not dry up. You said you weaned her 3 weeks ago? Do you mean you weaned a calf off her or you quit milking to dry her up? [/QUOTE]
