Help me help a friend. My buddy has had 2 calves born within the last week that appear normal on day 1 but on the 2nd or 3rd day they became weak, and he could tell they were not nursing. Doesn't copper deficiency cause weak calves. I think it may also be genetic because the cows are sired by the same bull, and the dam of one cow is the grandam of the other so its a close family line. What else can cause weak calves? Give us your thoughts until he sees the vet tomorrow.
