I moved some 6-1/2-7 month old calves (3) with two of the mama cows for 2 reasons. One was to help the grass situation in my cow pastures. The other is these 3 calves are fixing to be sale bound in the next week or two. I had about an acre with hood grass on it so it made sense. My concern is now the calf with out the mom in the pasture has moo'ed it self until it lost her voice. Should I be concerned? I mean like developing pneumonia or something? This morning I carried them a watermelon rind and she was trying to moo but was only a whisper moo. She had been grazing I know because she had grass hanging on her jaw. She was with all the rest of the cattle in the shade. It was 104 f yesterday evening at 6 pm here. What are y'all's take on this calf?
