[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 551760, member: 539"] I'm not sure what "drop calf" means, but anytime I get a new bottle calf from the salebarn I seperate him from everything else on the place for 2-4 weeks depending on what, if anything, develops. I start him out slow with milk replacer, and watch him like a hawk. As far as antibiotics and all the other stuff you mentioned, we are not in a selenium deficient area so there is no need for BoSe, and I do not use antibiotics unless needed. Regardless of whether you are using them to treat an illness or as a preventative measure, they can raise havoc with the intestinal flora/gut microbes. I do not believe an already stressed baby needs that. [/QUOTE]
