health problems

The first group of calves to leave the ranch 6 weeks ago are now doing fine, eating well and playing because of their contentment of being fed well and water always handy.  However the second group just weaned 10 days ago are having serious respiratory disease problems, already 30 of the 177 have been medicated and 4 have died.  Hopefully the crisis is nearly over and the group will move forward.  This picture shows 2 sick ones in the foreground and 2 dead ones further away.  On the other side of the fence is the 158 head in group 1 happily crowding the bunk eating away.
