Subject: Bull with problems, bovine leukosis?


Kingdom of Callaway - Fulton, Mo 65251
I bought a nice (and expensive )4 year old A-I donor bull two months ago and turned him out first of December. He did great the first month, breeding everything in sight, and maintained very good body condition. Then we got subzero weather and he got wobbly on his feet, and didn't come up to to bunks or water.

We darted him with Draxxim and banamine, and next day got him up to a barn. No improvement, so vet drew blood and he came back positive for bovine leukosis. Vet thinks he has a tumor pressing on a nerve. The breeder was great about it, has offered to pay all expenses and refund purchase price.

Is there anything else that can be done for him?
