Calf seemed weak and had sucken blueish eyes. Today the calf died , 2nd day. I am unsure if I should sell her? Give her antibiotics and re breed her? Also noticed her teats were large. I have included pics. Any advice ?
Large spiggots to me means that the calve died of mal-nutrition both during the embrio stage and after delivery as it couldn't suckle properly. They also signal me as an old cow, no way 4 years old, well past her prime.
