[QUOTE="regolith, post: 982395, member: 9267"] I don't think many of Nesi's organic calves end up in feedlots. No, none of mine had coughs either. The Baycox worked miraculously on the first one, but then at least twice vets gave me the runaround when I called them and said I had a calf with coccidiosis, could they put some out for me to pick up. I suspected the ones I was given antibiotics for (three calves on two different occasions) got better in spite of the treatment and not because... but that first calf went from healthy to dehydrated and almost too weak to walk so quickly the symptoms scared me too much not to try and get something effective into them asap. An interesting and completely offtopic (except so far as it relates to scours) piece of information I learned a few days ago. This being my second year on this farm, I've been worming the calves every four weeks, five at the most, since birth. Never had to worm that often on any other farm, and there are always dirty tails that clear up after treatment. We're not organic any more, a new owner took over in November. Heard the other day that the previous owner I originally leased the farm from had been attempting to breed worm resistant sheep on the property. [/QUOTE]
