[QUOTE="cattle_gal, post: 49656, member: 643"] One year I lost 30 calves to white muscle (selenium def) before we found out what it was. For this calf to have white muscle seems uncharacteristic. You said she has lots of energy. Typical white muscle calves have a hard time even using their mouth at birth that is when they are born alive, let alone a week old and previously running with the herd mates and just in the rear. And if she dies have a vet do an the autopsy right away. And take samples to send off to lab to confirm the problem. Have you had any problems like this in the past? Also have a soil test done to see where the mineral levels are on your place. [/QUOTE]
