[QUOTE="sciencegal, post: 662885, member: 8907"] Well, I have plenty of goats and even though I have customers for the meat from the wethers, I have a list of people who want beef raised on grass. These people are consistent goat meat customers and like the way I raise the goats for meat. Both halves of the red steer are already sold if I can keep him alive long enough to get to the butcher. Someday I may even get a half for my freezer, although I really prefer goat meat. It's more the new learning experience with the calves. I'm not expecting to make any money on them. The calf perked up last night and ate well, but is back to fussing about it today. He has developed jelly-like yellow poops this morning. So, now I've searching the CT forum for the best way to handle this if it's scours or the beginning of scours. I have oral neomycin on hand but outdated. I also have oxytetracycline injectable, and the pencillin. I also have couple of pouches of electrolytes. The vet is 75 miles away so I won't be able to get there for a few days or after the holiday. The last two I raised never had a problem with scours on the goat milk so I'm not prepared for this. [/QUOTE]
