[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 736094, member: 411"] We used to use Iodine however several vets and readings I have done has found Novalsan (sp?) to be better. Can't remember why. If I find the articles (I know there here somewhere) I will post it. We got in the habit of doing it to every animals of any species born here. Have yet to have an umbilicle problem. Would be very costly if we did so we just play safe. We are already there weighting and tagging so whats one more step. As far as working calmly with the calves. I feel it depends on the cattle. Most all of my moms if I stay with the calf between the cow and me im relatively safe. However when a mom has decided I was a threat she plowed over her calf and charged me. Don't think I have ever ran so fast in my life. Had a time finding my equipment throughout my path of mad running. :lol2: Just be careful. Anymore I just load the calf up in a wheelbarrow or a calf dolly that we made or the back of the quad if its out back and haul it up to the squeeze. There I can safely allow mom to watch and calf and me to be safe. Calf is returned and all is well. Just be careful. Even the nicest cow can turn on you when calves are at "risk". Double R [/QUOTE]
