I have had similar problems at one place, but not at another place 5 miles away. I don't know what causes it but they have a hole in the rumen. My vet reccomends a 7-way shot at birth. He doesn't know why, but the shot has almost cured the problem on ranches that were losing 1/4th of their calves.

I once had trouble with a secondary copper defiency in newborn calves. They had a poor suck reflex and sometimes were a little stiff in the back legs.
