[QUOTE="darcelina4, post: 1618677, member: 27059"] I buy calves like this but not that cheap. I try to get them on my feeding schedule and get them into a clean dry pen asap. I dont give meds right away as some dont need it. I do give them probias right away and every day for a week. I get them drinking my favorite brand of milk replacer. nutrablend 22/20 all milk protein non-medicated. I find that most take a few days to recover from the stress of the salebarn and being separated from momma. I take their rectal temperature. I only give meds if under 100 or over 102.5. They might have some stress scours but time and de-stressing will fix that. I've yet to lose a salebarn bottle calf. I've lost off farm buy calves however. [/QUOTE]
