[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1070776, member: 12607"] More info needed to even begin to guess at possibilities. What's your geographic location? Breed(s) of cows & sires? Same sire group(s), or calves from different sires affected? Mineral supplementation program? Micronutrient analysis (Cu, Se, etc.) on liver tissue from affected calves? Viral testing performed? Pasture conditions/forages consumed during the entirety of the pregnancy? You mention drought-stressed hay grazer(whatever that is) after rain - but that's not what these cows were eating for the entire 9 month gestation. Sometimes the 'insult' during fetal development occurrs weeks/months before delivery, and is no longer present or detectible. You say 'rigid muscles' - but is this actually a muscle problem, or is it a joint/ligament problem, like arthrogryposis? [/QUOTE]
