A few months ago I bought 8 Holstein Springer heifers at a stockyard located several miles from my home. The first of the heifers calved the day after Christmas and abandoned the calf. We brought her into the barn after she had laid in the mud and water overnight. She was nearly dead and we put the heat lamp on her and fed her every four hours. Her legs were frozen so we kept working them until she was able to stand. She is able to stand and lay down on her own now and is doing great. She also had pneumonia, but the antibiotics have taken care of that. My question is she has woolly/kinky/nappy hair and is a blue color. I have never seen a cow with this type of hair or color of hair. Does anyone out there know what breed of cow has this type of hair? Also, is it true that once a calf has pneumonia that it will always have problems with its lungs? Thanks for any info you can pass on to me!
