Best Answer
Calves die for a wide variety of reasons, most of which cannot be mentioned here. Some reasons are:
  • Genetical abnormality resulting in calf death
  • Malnutrition
  • Disease
  • Scours (which can also be caused by a variety of factors) which cause dehydration, which, if not treated, causes death
  • Cold stress
  • Heat stress
  • Did not get colostrum in time causing immunity suppression
  • Crushed by over-zealous cow[s] not watching where they step
  • Predators
  • Bulls will kill calves if they've a mind to
