[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 23359, member: 220"] Nitrates get into the blood stream, and tie up the oxygen carrying blood cells. In essence, the animal dies of suffication. (Short version) Re: Calves Had a wreck one year with a bull that threw "dummy" calves. Looked vigorous, but some needed up to five consecutive days of being put on the teat before they "figured" it out. Unfortunately, was about 30 of the little buggers (and we were getting up to ten calves a day during this time frame). All were patterned about the same : very blocky in build, and a wide short head. Needless to say, the bull was shipped and haven't had a problem since. Wish more Purebred breeders were as enthusiastic about banding as they are about bloodlines. Best of luck. Hope it's something you can fix. PS> Have you had the vet do a Post Mortem on one of them yet? Might provide you with some clues. [/QUOTE]
