Got a couple stragglers but over all I think they are looking better. The two white face little ones got very sick at one point so pretty sure they will forever be stunted

Yes looking better. Do you have them out on grass also? Small dry lot calves usually develop a hay belly.

Especially when they don't have enough protein. But looks to me just the black bull calf has a pot belly. Looks like horn flies are plauging them. They spend a lot of calories fighting flies. Do you have a pour on or a back rubber?

Yea I think he’s also stunted. I feel like he has only grown outward. I did fly ear tags, did a spray too but felt the spray didn’t do anything. Haven’t tried another pour on

Lookin good kid!!!
Those smaller ones will come along. They were obviously younger than the others. They all look happy and healthy!

Regarding the flies.
A pour on of ivermectin does wonders! And it won't hurt em to get an extra drip or two of wormer. Especially if it's been a while.
I also have a pump up hand sprayer with permethrin in it. Spray mine every couple weeks while they eat.
