[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 23411, member: 13"] I can't imagine why the calves won't nurse. Did you see any of them born? Did they try at all to nurse then? We see most of ours born or soon thereafter and the first thing they do is wobble around looking for a teat. If they're born to a heifer it sometimes takes a while for them to get latched on, but they just keep trying. I hope you find an answer and let us know. Now, if the cows had no immunities in their milk to pass on to a calf, even if they nurse, they might still die. Are the cow's vaccinations up to date? BTW, we had a commercial calf born to a heifer once that didn't nurse. But it was over a week before he developed respiratory problems and died. I'm sorta wondering if a calf would die in 3-4 days from lack of colostrom? [/QUOTE]
