[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 829047, member: 539"] I'm sorry your calf did not make it. As to the 'bad immune system', it's a possibility but I would be more inclined to think that the stress of the situation, combined with your unfamiliarity with cattle illnesses simply overwhelmed his/her immune system. Young calves don't have a mature immune system, and they are very susceptible to stress. Separating the new calves from the older ones might hedge your bet a little, but you still need to keep a close eye on the new ones for any signs of illness and treat accordingly. [/QUOTE]
