[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9698"] There is a simple serum test which can tell you if he received enough colostrum. If it is low, you can either give a serum transfusion, or blood from the dam or sire (less likely to cause reactions from them, but I still cross check for reactions before I give.) The serum would be available through your local vet college for sure, possibly also your vet. I've kept calves going but it's a heck of a lot easier with a good immune system...the antibodies from the dam will be dropping naturally starting around 2 months and the calf's immune system starts kicking in then...
