[QUOTE="Alice, post: 518170, member: 3873"] How old is this calf. If the calves started eating dry feed before two weeks of age, we'd breathe our first sigh of relief. AND, at two weeks of age, whether the calves were eating dry feed or not, and they were still alive and hadn't scoured, we'd breathe a sigh of relief. The calves we were raising came from the sale barn, so they started out with 2 strikes against them right off the get go. If your's had the benefit of colostrum, then you're a jump ahead. Two weeks of age is usually a good marker. Of course, that doesn't mean you still don't have to watch them like a hawk. Holstein bull babies are fickle, fickle, fickle. You might not have to worry too much about scours after two weeks of age, but you always have to worry about upper respiratory stuff. Alice [/QUOTE]
