[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 136047, member: 852"] OK, now that makes sense. I personally have had good success with bottle calves over the years, both on a bottle and on a nurse cow. Only calf I've lost was this past summer due to scours; half-dead when I got her and she never recovered. I did acquire a book recently (thanks for the suggestion, Medic) and after reading it, I think I might well have been able to save that calf if I'd known before what I know now. (She needed dextrose & electrolytes at that point.) Anyhow, to me, I'm not concerned about the risk of losing bottle calves but dealing with BVD in any way does concern me. I hadn't considered that aspect before. Now...everything I have on the place at the moment is fully vaccinated with 5-way lepto and 8-way clostridium. I would hope even if I DID end up with a BVD/PI bottle calf I wouldn't need to worry about the rest of the herd. Or would I??? [/QUOTE]
