[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 22871, member: 220"] This is kind of a shot in the dark, but some of the quickest demises I've had in older calves have been due to an ulcerated stomach. Seems to happen before they get to out on grass, and are trying to nibble hay with the cows... a coarse bit of hay perforates the calf's tender stomach lining, causing rapid (and I imagine, very painful) death. Usually lose at least two of the oldest calves to this every year, but due to the limitations of our area (very short grazing season and the fact that still get paid by the pound on calves in the fall) cannot change the February calving program. For what it's worth, would be extremely curious as to what an autopsy might reveal. Best of luck to you. [/QUOTE]
