[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 582804, member: 6198"] Yes the mother if vaccinated will have some antibodies that she will pass on in the colostrum, but she will not have as much or as good quality as a seasoned cow. The young hiefer has not been exposed to as many pathogens. As well this cow is younger than most, and has probably not had scour vaccines. They might get some immunity with the oral calf vaccine. As well with Navel ill you can dip the navel and prevent infection yes. But if the ground is saturated with bacteria the umbilcal cord acts like a sponge and sucks it up, thus an infection. All you would need is a dirty mudy ground with no bedding. Next, what if the owner does not not get their right at the drop of the calf. It does not take long for the navel to suck up the bacteria. got that t shirt. In the end only management can give this calf a excellent fighting chance. [/QUOTE]
