[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 1182579, member: 2308"] OK, sometimes you just get a big calf. That's not generally something we cull on, unless it is a recurring issue. She calved by herself the second time around. As far as the immunity thing, there could be something there, or not. For her first calf, well heifers generally have poorer colostrum. Add in a stressed calf and it's not surprising he got sick. Unfortunately he didn't respond to treatment and he died. Now the second one died for reasons unknown. We D's I'd not notice him sick, in fact I would almost go so far as to say he wasn't. We had worked them the day before we found him dead and did not notice anything we other him. For all I know he could have had heart problems, or even have been stepped on. Now I'm not saying that this cow should not be culled, or that she won't be. But at the moment, she is raising a Foster calf, that she accepted with no fuss. And she bred back. [/QUOTE]
