[QUOTE="Txtrophy85, post: 1112460, member: 21812"] bought a group of 12 calves in early Feb. 9 were about 300-350#'s and the other 3 were small calves about 150#....they were weaned and to get the deal I got I had to take the 12. all had their shots and we wormed them in the trailer before we turned them out. Last week I went down there and found one of the small calves dead in a pile of hay. Yesterday I went out and found one that couldn't stand up, got her on her feet, put her in a pen with hay, feed and water and found her dead this morning. what could be going on? these calves were doing great a month ago? only thing that has changed is we moved our bull (18 months old 1900 lbs) over there for a few weeks before we move him into another pasture because he kept jumping the fence where he was at. Very gentle bull and from what I can tell he is friendly towards the other cows. All of the other 11 are doing great and putting on weight I'm as green as you can get when it comes to cattle so any guesses as to what is happening would be appreciated. out of the 3 150# cows, 2 were heifers, both of those died, if that helps.
