[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 982384, member: 14161"] I have a question to ask. If you are just selling your calves through the sale barn, why are you concerned with the organic bit? Unless you are selling directly to another organic producer I will guarantee that most if not all of your calves are going to a feedlot for the commodity beef chain. If you do actually have cocci, it is now in the ground and will likely never go away. Bovatec in our mineral works the best for us as we do not have a controlled water source. Amprol is great if you do provide water in tanks. Treat them now, you will be glad you did. In the early 80's I witnessed what uncontrolled cocci is capable of. A neighboring ranch had weaned 1500 calves in November. No prevention protocol for cocci and it had been starting to occur for a few years. One cold day about 2 weeks post-weaning and they drug 90 deads to the bone pile. [/QUOTE]
