Calf problems

[swanny]

I have a 6 Mo. old beef calf looking dumpy and starting to lose weight. Eats hay and oats but just doesnt look right. Been bitterly cold for some time now in No. Mn So they need all the help they can get. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tom

Depending on the quality of the hay, you may/probably need to supplement it with some feed.

She is penned up with 24 other calves and she is the only one looking poorly

Wormed recently?

They have good quality hay and free choice mineral

They were wormed in the late summer with pour on. Will try to today

Forget the pour on, use either an injectable or a drench

Yep, drench if you think it could be worms making her act like this.

Maybe she's the bottom of the pecking order and just not getting her share? How much competition for the hay and oats?

pour on wormer will keep the flies off for a few days , I say if you want to deworm a cow , use the injectable or drench , then you know it got into the cow,
