These are the bugs. They are teeny tiny and as far as I know, are dead now. We left the feed out in the sun for a few days and there aren’t moving around anymore.

True… wish I knew what they were. They are teeny tiny, almost look powdery.

I work at a feed store and we got a pallet of sweet cob that has little teeny tiny bugs in it. After leaving it in the sun the bugs are all dead. I am able to get the pallet at no cost, would it be ok to feed to my feeder calves? I would hate to waste a whole pallet and really I don’t think...

I also have been banding at birth, usually within 3-4 days and never given tetanus.

Yes she’s completely dried up at this point. She’s going to auction Wednesday.

Great advice thank you! She’s been an old bitty that’s for sure.

Thanks! I do worry about her milk supply though. She really doesn’t have much of a bag at all. And I’m not entirely sure if that’s because she’s just doesn’t have much milk or he’s able to get a little nursing here and there. He’s always super vigorous when I go to feed him a bottle and even...

True! Thanks again. He’s a healthy little guy overall 😊

Thanks! Just didn’t want it to get into a situation where he was dehydrated. Will continue to monitor

That was my thought too. I see him trying to nurse all the time but she continues to kick him away. Really frustrated with this mama

That’s excellent! So glad your calf did well. I think I’ll do his normal bottle in am and pm and maybe an electrolyte middle of day.

Yes he’s acting totally fine. And no I have him and mama separated. I did initially give kaolin pectate but that’s a pain because you have to give 3-4 ounces. It took me a while to get all of it down him. Can I use human pepto or immodium? And can I mix it with his bottle?

See that’s what’s confusing about the Resorb, it says no milk replacer should be given at all during the 2 days of feeding it. Then reintroduce 1/2 formula with 1/2 Resorb on days 3 & 4. He’s doing really well, so might just go back to formula and chalk it up to the green grass.

Thanks! I gave him a bottle with Resorb last night and one this morning. I think I’ll only do that and then go to the 1/2 bottle Resorb with formula as indicated on the packaging. Just didn’t want it to lead to dehydration. His manure was straight liquid 😳

Bottle calf, 3 weeks old, yes he’s still with mama and he attempts to nurse often but she constantly kicks him away. Noticed yesterday morning that he has green liquid diarrhea. I’m assuming green from all the green grass we have. Wanted to get ahead of it so gave a bottle with ReSorb in it last...

It’s too early for weeds! Praying you get some much needed rain soon.

Been waiting for a clear day to vaccinate and deworm the herd. Here in Northern California, we have had an overabundance of rain. Believe me, I am NOT complaining, as years in the past have been a storm or two all winter resulting in virtually no feed and some serious fires due to lots of...

I fully agree. I called another vet today to establish a relationship to get meds to have in hand.

Thanks for checking up TC! She is doing excellent. Still will cough at times but no other issues. I am still frustrated with my vet. I asked if I could get some Multimin and something like Draxxin or Nuflor (really anything better than LA), just to have on hand, and I got no response back. Going...

I live in California. We can literally only get penicillin and LA-200/300. It is extremely frustrating. We can’t even get sustain boluses, or mastitis treatments such as today and tomorrow. I have been using a large animal vet for a few years now and they’ve seen my herd before. I couldn’t get...
