[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1328682, member: 24027"] Kingfisher, agree, it's just an educated guess based on the most likely scenario, the other one being possibly a fast-acting pneumonia. But I trust my vet's opinion because he's very familiar with our operation (and the ranch). Cowgirl8, I had always been under the impression that vaccines prior to 2 - 3 months were essentially ineffective because they were protected by passive immunity - basically what your vet said; she was too young. Evidently that is not always the case. True Grit, I don't think stress was a factor. The weather (temp) has been fairly consistent and we haven't moved or worked them yet. She was playful, healthy, hanging with the other calves. We check our cattle, as in a full inventory, every day. Wed morning she was with her mama, not away from the herd, and looked/acted/seemed fine. [/QUOTE]
