[QUOTE="SixBucksADay, post: 703459, member: 13369"] We have many hundreds of calves each year. At birth we give each a shot of multi-min, vit A and D, weigh them, band the bull calves that are over our weight criteria and spray the navel with an idodine solution ( if we get to them within a half hour of birth; a neighbor uses Nolvasan for a disinfectant). They also get a ranch ID tag and an RFID tag at birth. The navel is an open path to the system for any pathogen, but if you don't get to them soon, you are not doing any good. We also move calving areas to keep calving on clean ground. It's alot of work, but it is all we do during calving season (plus feeding). It pays for us with a very high percent live calf crop. It's alot of work, but we are confident, it's worth the time and effort (for us). [/QUOTE]
