    He is well loved from what I gather.
    I don’t think that big boy is going anywhere, if it can be helped .

        Another guess. Front left foot with foot rot. Am I the winner?

                Man, that is a solid bull! Hope they get him patched up!
                Ditto this. Hope you get it figured out.

                    I know the smart thing is to get rid of an older animal. Bottom line of course it’s the right thing. But, I have gotten soft in my old age. This boy has been so gentle. I bet over 50 people have crawled on him for a pic. I don’t need the money that badly, I try to take care of my family, friends, and animals, even at a cost.

                    I do appreciate all responses, suggestions, and comments.

                    If I find out tomorrow that he can’t be healed and must be put down, I will sleep better knowing I did what I could.

                    Neither of us mind being called Chunky. :-)
                    However, when I got that I was about 60 lbs heavier than today. Still not skinny though.

                      Hopefully you don't get that news, but in the cattle business gotta be prepared for it.

                      Would you butcher him if so?

                        It appears your cattle are more pets then livestock. To each there own. Usually people don't "put down" big ole chunks of beef like that. That will make a lot a hotdogs.

                          No more cows than he's covering 7 aint bad as long as he dont come up lame. What kind of minerals are you feeding? I had a bad outbreak of foot rot several years back. Switched to Purina wind and rain loose mineral . Recommended by the vet. I didn't have any more trouble after that.. I did notice before that the same cows will get foot rot again kinda like someone with athletes foot .

                            If that picture is from today it looks like his rf pastern is swollen. Probably got it hung in something and injured it. Now he has cellulitis from the injury. Id give him about a half hour of hydrotherapy with a garden hose. Just run water over it. Then I'd give him a dose of dexamethasone in the vein. Then id hit him with banamine for the next five days. Id also give an antibiotic. Draxxin works wonders. I think he will be just fine.

                              This^^. We leave loose minaeral out year round for this exact reason. We've never had foot rot since we started doing it.

                              To treat foot rot, put it in a squeeze chute, wash the feet really well. Spray 10% bleach and water solution and saturate the feet. Give boluses, LA200, or any other antibiotic.
