Been buying holstein calves off and on for about 30 years. the last 10 years I have had about a 65% death rate. shipping fever \ pnemonia(sp).
Had to take a 200 lb. steer to the vet. last night again. same thing. Doc. told me death rate will be high because holsteins are bred to give milk and we have bred out survival strenght. any body else have the same issues??? at a hunderd dollors for a 3 day old calf, i'm going broke. :x :x :x :cboy:
