[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 434306, member: 6198"] trust me it will happen again. Cattle = Murphy's Law and a few others that defies the laws of physics :D A few tips if you are buying a calf. 1. review or ask questions about it's herd mates and mother's health. ie did the mother recieve vaccinations? Pre breeding or after? what vaccinations? Did the calf get a good amount of colostrum? If you buy at the sale barn or anywhere for that matter, quarantine the animal for 3 weeks. Would not want Red sick again. but quarantine (q.) means q. the water the feed and the bedding space. Reason, could bring a disease in and well Red has had enough and needs time to build his immune system again. It's a headache but well worth it. finally, worm the new calf and for sure talk to your vet about vacciantions. good Luck [/QUOTE]
