[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1492706, member: 18809"] Not likely, since some are embryos and some are AI. The embryos are all purchased, so not related to our genetics. But very good question. I did find this information: [url=https://www.sprayfo.com/en/Learn-more/Health-/Sufficient-iron-is-essential-for-your-calves--/]https://www.sprayfo.com/en/Learn-more/H ... -calves--/[/url] Even though it is promoting a product, it has actual data on calves and iron levels. TB - I was hoping you would chime in. DO you think the hay we have been feeding could be low in iron? From my research, cattle get most of their iron from feed.... if the cows are lacking in iron, thus producing milk that is low in iron, I would think the finger would point there? BR - I will not exclude your idea, however I doubt it is an infectious agent. It would likely affect all calves, and not just 15% of the calves. Everyone I have talked to thus far have all been stumped. The extension agent was going to the cattlemen meeting last night, and said he would ask the group there if anyone had any similar cases. I found this thread through my research [url=http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=92977]viewtopic.php?t=92977[/url] So, I will see if the calves are any better tonight, which would be 24 hours after I gave the shot.
