Hi everyone,
We had a male calf born on Friday afternoon from a first timer giving birth. The calf wasn't due until next middle of next month maybe even later. It weight in at 25lbs we gave him colostrum and calf milk formula, he didn't take much. wouldn't get up Friday night or all day Saturday and this morning he died. What are the chances of survival on a premature calf? Besides what we did could anything been done differently? Anything I should keep handy in the future to help the chances of survival? We bundled him up even thought it's usually 80's at night we're we are. Nice looking calf.
