We've got friends who have just a few bred cows and and they have lost 7 out of 7 calves within a few days of birth. The vet is saying there is a bacteria in the bloodstream and a bacteria in the feed. They have been feeding a chopped silage type feed that was grown locally. My husband and I only have the typical layperson's knowledge here and haven't encountered this type of problem before. We don't even know if they sent the samples off to big labs or where the testing was done. Anyone out there have some ideas about what might be going on here? Some things to look for?
