two with redwater last few days (cow and lim bull ), bought in spring 2021 and on the same ground this year ( none last year ), strange in that not sick (not off form and both eating well ) and urine barely red but both had " pipe stem dung " which I would normally see only in more advanced cases. Water clear by evening after imizol. Couldn't see much ticks either
