Thanks everyone! I didn't expect this much of a response, and it makes me feel a lot better. I will ask my vet about it. One of you mentioned colostridial diseases, are those commonly vaccinated against? If so, I'm sure she had her vaccine. I know she would have gotten the common vaccines, like lepto, blackleg, etc. I think they do the 9 way.
The only reason I found out about the backbiting is the neighbor family got in a big fight with their daughter. It was a sad deal, very dramatic, and the girl was in the right. She moved out, and went to her fiance's parents house until the wedding in a few months. Anyways, we are in a very small goofy town and neighbors call neighbors and everyone was dragged into it... Well, when that happens people talk and you start hearing what has been said about you... I am going to wait a while and let my anger about the treatment of the daughter and backbiting subside, and let them calm down. Then I will bring it up and hopefully we can work it out. They said some other dumb stuff too, and hopefully all can be addressed when things calm down.
This has been so bizarre, I feel like I'm suddenly on a Jerry Springer show... "Watch today as Jerry visits feuding farmers in an oddball little Polish town in MN....."
On a GREAT note, I am going to visit a Jersey farmer getting out of milking tomorrow. I went there last week and looked, and I'm pretty sure I will select and bring home two Jersey girls! I'm tentatively excited. We also had a cute hereford bull calf today from my cow that I used to milk. So, I should be able to have a little milk before the first jersey freshens in the next month or so. Woot! So today ended on a good note! Thanks again everyone, I have a feeling I will love being a part of this board!
