[QUOTE="regolith, post: 676055, member: 9267"] Not odd at all. I don't know if different pathogens have different effects on the gut, but some can cause serious longterm damage to the calf's ability to absorb nutrients and water. So possibly the calf wasn't robust enough to shrug off a second infection. That makes sense Knersie. I've actually heard the opposite (heifer calves get better colostrum protection) but that's in dairy herds and probably related to the larger, often low-slung bags and dilution through large quantities produced in older cows.
