[QUOTE="Tomcolvin, post: 1423973, member: 24361"] Thanks TC, I hope things change for you too. I have been following your trail of tears with all the weird stuff going on, I can really relate to that. I have lost so many calves probably because of my not knowing what to do. I have raised a lot of bottle calves and lost more than I raised. I had one little bull that I got up at 4 am every morning and bottle fed and then got ready for a 10 hour day job. Came in at night and fed again. This went on for about 3 months before I good get him on solid food eating on his own. He was 5 months old and a picture of health. I was working on a water line in the pen he was raised in and he came in to see what I was doing. Flies were bad and all over him so I got my Tractor Supply spray out that I had been using since he was little, tried to spray but bottle was about empty, maybe an ounce in it so I unscrewed the sprayer and poured it from neck down his back. He walked back out to pasture and He was dead in 10 minutes. I cried, it hurt so bad, how could I be so stupid. My vet said it went to his nervous system. Also he said if I had sprayed it on, it wouldn't have bothered him. The label on jug said ready to use, just pour on. I think it meant pour on the cattle rub for their back. This is only one stupid thing I done I have more but won't trouble you with them. My problems most of them I caused but in your case it appears to be things that just jump out at you when you don't see it coming. Praying things will change for you. [/QUOTE]
