[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1616590, member: 16453"] Greggy, two separate things. If they get BVD after birth they get over it completely fairly quickly. What you have there are some calves with with chronic respiratory disease which is slower for them to recover from and some will have permanent damage. In this case a transient infection of BVD lowers their immunity and they get sick with a respiratory disease. Sounds like there is a very good chance that you have one or more PI's there which are the source of infection. You should identify them and cull them as a PI will only have another PI which if alive will be weak and poor doing in most cases, not what you are after. Ken [/QUOTE]
