[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 1812954, member: 411"] I am very sorry [USER=39373]@MurraysMutts[/USER]. Try not to beat yourself up about it too hard. Take the lessons and use them in the future. We got a holstein heifer calf from a dairy as a graft some years ago. They put a metal tag in her ear. Didn't think much of it. Ended up getting infected and I didn't catch it right off. Didn't appear noticeably swollen or anything. It spread. Somehow got into her knees etc. It was a very long hard fight for her including draining her knees and flushing. She did end up surviving but we shipped her to a feed lot post weaning. Vet said she could have lasting damage that could show up when she's heavy bred. Lesson learned for sure. The holstein I am currently grafting has a pretty thick umbilical stump. Watching it close. Don't forget! You have given many calves a chance and a good life while in your care. We are only human. Very sorry for the loss. [/QUOTE]
