[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1807743, member: 24027"] Am I correct that you only sold the 5 heifers this time? If so, with the variance in size, they would break them up. And yes, some sale barns comingle calves. I agree that the rough coat wasn't in their favor. I use Cydectin pour-on; my calves get wormed at appx 3-4 months and again at weaning. But I would suggest asking your vet what they recommend, based on your area. Were they fully vaccinated with 2 rounds and weaned? Backgrounding helps. That said, if you do only have a handful of calves to sell, you may want to consider selling private treaty, Craigslist, and there are a number of cattle groups on Facebook. You can't actually sell on FB, but post a pic, stats, and state: Up for discussion. [/QUOTE]
