Had a second calf cow calve Saturday. Buzzards were flying around and sitting in trees over her as she had gotten off by herself and was close to calving so we got her up to the barn. She had her calf a few hours later. We gave it a tube of First Defense as we have with a few others lately. Turned it out the next day and it seemed weaker than it should so again brought the pair back in. The calf's manure was literally as green as a bright green as the plastic fake green grass that used to be in Easter baskets. Today the manure is pretty much normal calf yellow but still streaked with the green. We wondered if the blue colored First Defense paste had turned it that color.
