[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1335765, member: 9267"] Dead wrong. Any cows I've had with clinical signs have been seven years or over, often 7 - 9 yrs & not getting it then is no guarantee that they won't become clinical at thirteen or fifteen. Be a lot more concerned about her shedding on your pastures than infecting a potential replacement heifer - unless you've got a completely separate pasture to keep her on. These calves have perfectly good mommas? I won't even suggest bottle feeding then, put the old girls on some good pasture and sell in good condition after weaning. Even if you wean at three months and grain the calves; your only real risk is the bottom falling out of the cull market during that three months. [/QUOTE]
