[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1840483, member: 25884"] It seems to be a year for problems many places. I lost my nurse cow when the 2 calves were 3 weeks old... have had a couple of steers get respiratory/pneumonia problems and lost them. Had one start to bloat, and would bloat one day, go down another day, but more bloated than not; had vet look him over and stuck a tube down to relieve it... lost him 2 weeks later. Heifer had a dead calf in that single digit weather, and so did another older experienced cow. Found a cow with a 3 month old calf dead yesterday, so calf got moved up to the small barn/shed, so it will learn to eat grain and hay, where I am raising several bottle calves...2 sets of twins from a dairy farm I milk test, and weaning off the 2 from the nurse cow now. Several members on here, [USER=968]@Jeanne - Simme Valley[/USER] have had freakish bad times too... Sorry for your losses also. Us farmers just take a deep breath and keep on trying. [/QUOTE]
