[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1849134, member: 42782"] One thing to have on hand-- to dip or spray new born calves navel cord Strong iodine (not grocery store strength iodine) from a vet. This is so they don't get navel ill infection from the dirt. It's gotten had to find, can't be shipped because it's hazardous. I use Vetericyn Supper 7 in a spray. Probably you can get it at feed stores. I keep a couple of bags of powdered colostrum around because you never know what might happen and they have GOT TO get that colostrum within 2 hours of birth and again within 12 hours. Of course you need a calf bottle to feed it with. [/QUOTE]
