[QUOTE="Lane, post: 876842, member: 14381"] Raykour; I have a stocker operation and buy 3 wt. calves weekly. I ride my traps twice daily to check calves. I make all calves get up as I go by and you will learn the calves that don't feel good. They are slow to get up, don't want to move, and may walk with their head down and you will usually see them working a little harder to breathe. I identify and treat them immediately. I record any treatments and check to see if they have had any previous problems. From experience I see chronics break back in a few weeks, or when they are stressed from weather or being moved. We mass treat with a long-lasting antibiotic upon purchase and vaccinate and booster all calves for upper respiratory diseases, Pasturella, and Blackleg. I have always found that timely treatment will save most calves. If you see a problem you need to address it immediately. Hope this helps. Lane [/QUOTE]
