Ok,
I have a question we have a sick heifer she is 3 months old and has not been eating has been to the vet several times has been tubed, and had a round of antibiotics she is still running no fever she just does not eat she sips water and is starting to get a little bloated. We are now at the point that surgery is the only option which is not a option we are willing to go. If she does not make it I am wondering what other peoples opinions are on eating beef that was treated with antibiotics? If the calf does not make it we do plan on having a necropsy done to find out what went wrong currently we are leaning towards some sort of blockage of some sort maybe she ate something she shouldnt have not sure. If it ended up being some disease or something I would not consider eating it. I hate to let this meat just go to waste oviously it is not the wonderful mature grass fed beef we normally aim for but I find it hard to believe that it is not usable at all. After all we are treated with antibiotics as well.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated Thanks Nicki
