[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 432808, member: 391"] This is just for fresh bought calves-- with home grown I might worry more about snotty noses and coughing. I ignore snotty noses/coughing. When a calf is sick it has them- but so do lots of the healthy ones. I'm looking for attitude changes first then gaunt ,droopy ears, diahreah. The temperature cut off depends on the weather and how much running/excitement went on. 104.5 is my base depending on environmental factors it will go up or down. Occasionally I will treat one with a lower temp. I pulled them cause I saw something I didn't like and on top of that- if they are gaunt and underfleshed I'll treat them anyhow just to be safe with a long acting antibiotic. They aren't eating and have no extra flesh making them primed to get sick hard and fast if they aren't already. I rarely pull one thinking it was sick- and find a low temperature but I've been doing this for 25 yrs.......... Every now and again I'll pull one that I have been watching(while I'm pulling some others- just cause its so easy to get them too). If its temp is low(and its got flesh) I'll leave it alone. [/QUOTE]
