[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1419856, member: 9096"] I think part of the higher death rate may also be from lesser quality colostrum from a young cow.. older cows have more colostrum and a better variety of antibodies.. they've been there, done that, and the immune system remembers it. If she's a truly valued cow, I'd wean the calf early and not breed her this year.. if she's just a run-of-the-mill cow, make her work and what happens, happens [/QUOTE]
