I raised baby calves for quite a few years, never took their temps. I just watched them. If their ears are up.... no need to panic over an occasional cough. If those ears drop, or they start humping up... get a vet out, or take the calf in. BTW, at two months I never fed milk replacer again. Usually weaned mine at around 6 weeks, as soon as the were eating a pound or so of grain a day.
