[QUOTE="DavisBeefmasters, post: 841306, member: 2263"] First, sorry for your losses. Secondly, it's hard to say why... - do you know the vaccination history of the cows? - where did you buy them and under what terms? - how are the girls getting along? (the March and the May group... playing head buttsy? also side shots to one another?) some will tell you to instantly get the calves posted by a vet... and I'll tell you that you can do that and the majority of the time the results will be "inconclusive" So here's my assumption (right, wrong, or indifferent) -- you bought these cows at a sale barn and they either had some foo-joo (yes that's a technical term) prior to going to the barn or picked it up AT the sale barn... could be lepto, could be your current weather issues where you're at, could be these girls got into a pecking order battle with the other two and took a head shot at the precise location to abort, they ate pine needles, etc. Unfortunately because this accounts for 50% of your herd it's serious... however, it's only 2 and I wish better luck to you with the May girls.
