Hmmmm Might try using a little honey now that that gunk is out. Honey is a natural antibiotic.

Buster52...hate to hear that about your pond. Definitely we need rain.

P&B we also sold 27 first time heifers in 2005 when our biggest ponds were reduced to 1/2 their depth. One even went into a fish kill and there were huge catfish and bass belly up. The varmits had a feast. Took three years for that pond to recover. I thought 2005 was bad, but this is a far worse drought.

does it need to be raw honey? i put neosporin on it, but prefer natural anti biotics

Yes...it's better than processed honey...which often has corn syrup added to it.

Would suspect the chickens are not cared for either.
She obviously does not have the wherewithal to care for the livestock...no grass, no hay, no feed, no water. Short of reporting the situation to local authorities, is there a way to contact her children to see if they would check on her? Someone who won't care for animals may have mental health issues and may need medical attention. It would at least alert her children that there is a problem and to let them know you had permission to remove the steer. The dead animals should be buried to reduce health concerns.

i'd report it to authorities- there is no reason not to-if by chance you can save any of the animals, that is what ''d do

Sad day in our neighborhood today.

That is sad indeed. I would be most worried about the wife. Something must have gone way wrong for her to allow the animals to suffer like that. Even if she didn't know how to take care of them, she surely should know to ask for help. Worried about her mental health. So sad.​

Bad day indeed Buster. I would do like the others and report it to the authorities,there may be other animals inside the barn suffering. Surely someting must be wrong with woman.

This is what I think happened, too. I've run across too many people who are this way. I doubt the women is mentally ill in any way at all. She probably just doesn't give the animals a 2nd thought all day. They were probably her husband's and with him not there right now she just doesn't care.
