		<description><![CDATA[Recent widespread heavy rains across much of southern Australia have turned many calving paddocks into a sea of mud. 
Cows calving in wet, muddy paddocks are more likely to contract mastitis and metritis. Calves which are dropped in the mud at birth are almost certainly going to become ill and possibly to die.

		<description><![CDATA[Farmers often think that losing a few calves a year is not a big problem. In fact, dead calves are actually the tip of the iceberg. Related illness and poor feed conversion efficiencies &#38; growth rates in surviving calves cost far more money than the value of the dead calves.
