[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1227273, member: 12607"] Genetics are way down the list. The most common things happen most often. Body condition score? Is this calf malnourished? You've volunteered info that this calf and its year-younger sibling were both weak, to the point of being preyed upon...are they (and others in the herd) getting enough quality feed for their age, stage of production, and current environmental conditions? Parasitism? 'Worms' rarely kill adult animals, but can hit youngstock pretty hard; coccidiosis can be a killer. Beyond this, you're starting to chase zebras. [/QUOTE]
