Off feed

[ty378]

Hey I have a yearling angus bull was just champion on the weekend, he ate second cut all day sat and most of Sunday sat had wet beet pulp, got pretty revved up in the supreme driveway ting to fight other bulls, Sunday night did not eat grain, mon had just straight water manure, ate grain up until last night, this mening nothing manure has thickened but still not where it should be, any suggestions of what to do?

Give him the driest grass hay that you have and monitor his water intake.  Don't let him have more than 1 pail at a time.  His guts need to dry out from all of the 2nd cut hay and beet pulp.  Once his manure is solid again, you can let him back to free choice hay and water.  I'd wait a few days before putting him back on grain though.  Maybe in a week start pail feeding him a little again.

If he doesn't show significant improvement in a couple of days, call the vet.
