calves a concern
Dead or sick calves are a scenario
that is reported every year in a num-
ber of beef herds in the northern
jPlains.
“A list of all possible causes for
Ithis case can be very confusing to
producers,” says Gerald Stokka,
:North Dakota State University Ex-
itension veterinarian and livestock
stewardship specialist. “However,
Edepressed, feverish calves with an in-
:creased respiratory rate most likely
'will fit the diagnosis of ‘summer
pneumonia?”
. The common question generated
.by this diagnosis is: Why would
gnursing beef calves in the pasture
with little stress in their lives come
down with respiratory disease or
pneumonia?
" What is Summer Pneumonia? V
Summer pneumonia is respiratory
disease/pneumonia that occurs in
beef calves nursing their dams. The
age range of calves affected can be
.as early as 3 to 4 weeks and from 3 to
:5 months of age.
, Calves are born with little to no
immunity and are dependent on re—
:ceiving a passive transfer of immu—
inity from their dam
colostrum. This passively acquired
iimmunity declines through time, and
.unless the calf develops active im-
munity through vaccination or expo-
through .
sure to infectious agents, they even-
tually will become susceptible to
pathogens that can cause respiratory
disease. ,
“This is why some calves are sus—
ceptible at a very young age (3 to 4
weeks) and other calves become sus-
ceptible later,” Stokka says.
Conditions Leading to Summer
Pneumonia
Stressful conditions that may pre-
cipitate an outbreak of summer pneu-
monia in nursing calves:
0 Certain weather events can in-
crease the risk of developing sum—
mer pneumonia. For example, mid
to late spring blizzards or rain can
deprive the calf of normal nursing
patterns and produce hypother~
mia/chilling in calves. Late spring
or summer high temperatures can
produce heat stress in cows and
calves, resulting in greater suscepti-
bility to infectious agents. Also, dry,
dusty conditions can increase sus—
ceptibility because the calves’ nor-
mal innate, clearing defense
mechanisms can be overwhelmed,
which allows for pathogens to pro-
liferate and gain access to the lungs
of young calves. ,
- Mixing groups together after
calving, such as moving cow-calf
pairs to pasture or mixing groups to-
gether for heat synchronization and
artificial insemination procedures,
can result in cattle re—establishing
their social order and allowing the
transmission of infectious agents.
- When calves are sorted for mov-
ing or synchrOnization programs,
they can have separation anxiety and
nurse infrequently, which increases
stress.
These organisms are commonly
found in summer pneumonia cases:
- Bacterial organisms, which in- V

teurella multocida and Histophilus
somni
0 Viral agents including BRSV
(bovine respiratory syncytial virus),
BRCV (bovine respiratory coron-
avirus), IBR (infectious bovine
rhinotracheitis) and BVDV (bovine
viral diarrhea virus)
“Vaccination can be effective in
reducing the risk of summer pneu—
monia when caused by agents for
which a vaccine is available,”
Stokka says. “HOWever, vaccination
in young calves does not equate with
a 100% response rate. Nor does it re~
duce the stress associated with
weather, dry, dusty conditions, sort-
ing and mixing. In addition, while
some pathogens may have commer—
cially available vaccines, informa-
tion to evaluate effectiveness is
limited.”
Sacrifice area may save grazing resources
During dry conditions, establish—
ing a sacrifice area may help prevent
livestock from overgrazing and dam—
;aging a small farm’s grazing re—
SOurces, a North Dakota State
University Extension agent and spe-
cialist say.
“Overgrazing can lead to weed
overgrowth and ultimately will be
time consuming and costly to re—es-
tablish grass in the future,” warns
Penny Ngster, N DSU Extegsion agri-
Kidder County.
A sacrifice area is an area where
animals stay at times when pasture
grazing is detrimental to land and
plants.
This area can be in a dry lot pen
or a fenced-off area of the pasture.
This can be used during times that
animals do not need to graze or dor-
mant seasons, drought times or peri-
ods of excess moisture.
“The goal of these areas is to sac-

1. Where was Jackie Wilson when
he suffered a heart attack?
2. Name the Simon and Garfunkel
song that was used in the soundtrack
for the 1967 film “The Graduate”?
3. In which Hollies song does the
name of the girl rhyme with “freckles”?
4. Which group released “Natural
High” and “Outside Woman”?
5. Name the song that contains this
lyric: “Come right back I just can’t
bear it, I’ve got this love and I long to
share it.”
Answers
1. He was on “Dick Clark’s Good
01’ Rock and Roll Revue,” singing
“Lonely Teardrops.” Wilson had a
habit of taking lots of salt pills and
water to create sweating, which he
thought looked great onstage. Unfor-
tunately, that combination also causes
very high blood pressure. He never
sang again.
2. “Mrs. Robinson.” The following
year it won a Grammy, for Record of
theYear.
3. “Jennifer Eccles.” The name came
from the wife of one of the writers and
the maiden name of the other writer’s
wife.
4. Bloodstone, in 1973 and 1974.
5. “Have I the Right?” by The Hon-
eycombs in 1964. The pounding
drums were enhanced in the record—
ing by the group stomping their feet
on the wooden stairs at the studio;
recorded by five microphones.
