Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

Lepto? Don't know if that is in the CDT you give the sheep? We are going to get a blood test on the 2nd cow that had a dead calf, because she calved about a month early...3 days after the first cow that had the dead calf and got so mean.... trying to get her to take the calf we had originally gotten for the other cow. Cow does not have much milk. She's not mean but not really wanting the calf either... won't stand still unless in the chute, dances all around... the poor calf... I am supplementing a bottle a day, hoping he would get her to come into her milk more by nursing but he is getting discouraged with her unwillingness to stand for him.
There have been 3 live new calves born since,,,, so maybe it is just a coincidence....
Will be testing for lepto as well as the theileria....plus anything the vet thinks would be worth checking into...
