I'm having trouble with newborn calves this month. Six of Seven calves died soon after birth, or a day or two later. They seem
too weak to stand and nurse. It's cool here, 20s and snow. I don't like winter calving, but that is what I have this year. I try to get them inside the barn, but my cattle will only go in the barn to eat chop. Mothers go with the herd rather than follow the calf. Body condition of the cows is very good, maybe slightly fat.
I have searched the web for diseases, but can't point to anything. Anyone have any Ideas?
