[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 911836, member: 6198"] Needed to do a separate post for this one Bringing in calves during calving especially dairy calves is a recipe for disaster. If you thought murphy's law was bad before...Just wait. Train wreck will follow. Can include but not limited to...serious scours issues in the whole herd. Higher risk of BVD infections, and Johnes. Even a vaccinated herd can be suseptable to this problem. If the scour bugs reach threshold no amount of vaccine will stop the wreck. Dairy and beef bugs are the same and yet very different strains. Strains also vary between herds. Any new animals brought on farm should be quarantined pre and during calving for the safety of the herd. It is called BIO SECURITY. Finally, as a preventative, the herd should be closed from strangers who calve on their own farms. If they do come on farm, precautions should be taken. Clean disinfected boots, and clean coveralls, dung and mud free vehicles. Cross contamination is very helpful to murphy's law [/QUOTE]
