[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 308978, member: 968"] Sorry Ennot - days go like that sometimes. Not to be an alarmist - but I would be major concerned with the health of the farm raised newborns. Remember, no matter how healthy that Holstein calf is/was - it is carrying bugs that your newborns will not have immunity from their dams colostrum. If there is anyway to keep your newborns away from any exposure to this calf for at least the first few weeks (months would be better!). MoGal - good article - soooo accurate! As far as the calf being 8 months - it could be much less than that depending on how long he bred the heifers - if he bred them for 60 days - it could be 6 months. [/QUOTE]
