[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 497837, member: 968"] Years ago, my husband & I were hired to manage a new herd, that consisted of 4 different "herds" put together (including ours). We calved out about 150 head. We had NEVER ever had a case of scours. Well, let me tell you, we got it - big time! We had never tubed a calf before that calving season. We learned real quick. We also learned that 24 hours old was the magic number for that particular strain. If the calf was born at 2am, you best be checking it at 2am the next morning. If you didn't catch the problem right then, it was too late. It hit soooo fast & hard. Would kill them in hours. Started hitting every calf with an e-coli 99 oral dose - don't even remember what it was called back then. REAL EYE OPENER!! We soon learned that if you could keep them hydrated, you could save them. Didn't get much sleep that year :shock: [/QUOTE]
