Thanks Vicki! That makes sense... Dairy calves are so hard to raise as babies, that is why we have a vet that comes out twice a week. They are not as sturdy as the beef calves. We also find housing is very important, we have hutches for them with an indivdual run and we move them once a day and it is must for being in the open air instead of a barn where sicknesses tend to spread.
