Several months ago I bought 10 calves. As it stands now I have 1 1/2 left. I say that because one is actively dying as I type this message. I have no clue what could be causing this. They were sick when I bought them and the vet gave me the strongest antibiotic possible. At the time only one had died. After being seemingly health 1 will randomly die here or there. They are move back and forth between two pastures of approximately 5 acres each. They have been wormed, vaccinated, and given antibiotics as needed. They are fed twice a day, they are able to roam and eat grass, and they are given hay as well. They have more than adequate supplies of clean fresh water.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what may be causing this? An how to prevent it? As of now, 90% of my investment is dead. And if the past is any indicator of the future, the last one standing isn't far from dead. I'm very frustrated at this point and any help would be greatly appreciated.
