[QUOTE="kyhillbilly, post: 86344, member: 1631"] I am new to all this but I just thought I'd share how mine were doing. I have two two-week old bull calves that I bought from the dairyman up the road. A holstein and a holstein-swiss cross. He sells them to me at 3-4 days so they have a good start already. I use a medicated Dumor Supreme milk replacer and both are looking very good. I did have to medicate the holstein once but he's doing fine now. I've seen what goes through our sale barns down here and I will more than gladly fork over the 125 for a calf at the dairy because I know it has a much better chance. (He turns the mothers in with the calves twice a day during the first 3-4 days rather than hand feed them anything. I ask another local cattleman who runs about 4,000 head a year (seriously) about any doctoring and he insists that at the first sign of sickness (pneumonia, scours, etc) the calf gets a shot of Nuflor (or LA 200), Sustain III calf bolus by weight, and that I pour the electrolytes to them regularly. So far all is well! [/QUOTE]
