PM is the way forward. Age plays a big part so try and give the vets as much info as possible. Ecoli will hit after 24hrs. Are your lads keeping all the colostrum handling stuff meticulously clean? Bottles / tubes? Good luck.Most are dying at 24-48 but some are sooner.
The first 200+ calves are a picture of health and the ones dying are not coming out dopey. All the cows get a TE bolus at dry off.
I've had a couple of messages pointing me towards k99 ecoli and I think this is the likely cause.
I am having some PM's done as well.
