Shipping Fever in cattle often starts from a lowered immune system which is caused by stress. Stress comes about when cattle are handled roughly, especially on the salebarn or auction mart, or when calves are weaned from their mothers and sent on the truck right away. Shipping fever is a respiratory disease often caused by Pastuerella spp. of bacteria, but can be caused by a virus too.
