[QUOTE="Farmer Kevin, post: 123548, member: 1490"] To give as little background I have been buying calves at around 250 to 300 pounds and feeding them out to get myself started. Have been having lots of luck with them and hoping to not have to lose any to death loss, but I do know it DOES HAPPEN. The situation I have is that I check my calves regularly and noticed that one of its ears are beginning to drop. I have read in forums and cattle magazines about a microplasm that has been affecting cattle and was thinking it was that because of the symptoms. By the way the calf weighs 250 and the drugs of choice that I have given him was: 10 cc's LA 200 ( 5 in each back leg) 12 cc's Penicillin (Neck) 3 cc's Banamine (Temp was 103.8, so I thought it could not hurt) I was planning on following up with pen. tomorrow and than LA 200 the next day and repeat that until temperature is back to normal and ear is back up. NOW THE QUESTION IS: DID I DO THE RIGHT THING? [/QUOTE]
