The calf was born dead 1 week ago. The cow is acting a bit sick and seems depressed. She’s drinking and has been eating but I think less than normal. She at times keeps to herself. Yesterday she was in the barn alone. She’s always done that. It’s cooler in there. She’s not crazy wild but I was...

That is one thing I will never understand. Why the vet doctor world is so far behind in developing. If a human gets sick, almost always they know what it is and how to fix it. A animal, they are clueless.

Thank you. I asked my neighbor about not getting her this colostrum and he said he didnt think that was her problem.

Got some calf grower calf starter feed from the feed mill. She would eat it if I put it in her mouth. She eats about anything I put in her mouth. Other wise no interest in eating it.

They include it in mineral blocks at fleet farm. Its just a small amount, but if that can be in mineral, why cant a feed mill put some in the feed? https://www.fleetfarm.com/search?Ntt=Selenium+

Would that be in the calf starter, or could it be requested to be in it if ffrom a feed mill'?
