[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 912854, member: 968"] Sorry to hear that. Pine needle abortion MAY be the cause - OR - lepto -OR BVD. Cattle can get BVD and not really get "very sick". They do NOT get diarhea (as the name indicates) or at least extremely rare that they do. It is usually a repiratory problem. Cattle can get it & fight it off, and you never really realize they were sick. If they get it at the right gestation --- then you're in trouble with the calves. They either abort, birth too early, have weak calves that don't survive, or have relatively normal calf that does survive & infects your whole herd all year long (all being BVD-PI). It sure wouldn't hurt to check a few - especially the puny weak one. "Natural" cattle can be vaccinated - they cannot get antibiotics or implants - to the best of my knowledge. Someone else might jump in here. [/QUOTE]
