[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1772252, member: 25884"] We buy somewhat regularly from the stockyards:; mostly bull calves in the 4-6 wts.. to make steers to wean and precondition and put together pens/groups... That is a size/age that can get sick fast. BUT.... we bring them home and they go through the chute within 24 hours and ONLY get a shot of Multi-min.... then sit and watch them for a week or so... THEN they get worked through for castrating, and blackleg/tetanus and vaccs..... Kept in the lot another week or so and if all looks good, out with any others we have there. We have 2 pens right there at the barn so can have 2 groups being "processed"... that we can get in and work on or treat or anything that needs doing.... Frosts me that we have to get Multi-Min from the vet... because of the selenium levels being higher than "suggested"... yet we are in a selenium deficient area.... when a vitamin supplement like that should be the first thing anyone would use... Thinking about that, [USER=39373]@MurraysMutts[/USER] , you might want to give that cow a shot of that. It is one of the very best things we have started using on any bought animals....and anything that might be stressed... really seems to boost their systems... and get them utilizing their feed better too....
