[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1391020, member: 25884"] So if he writes you a script for it, get twice as many bags as you will need; tell him you have 6 calves instead of 3.... Yes they have been talking about it for 2 years, through all this BS. I don't feed any medicated milk replacer, and never plan to. If an animal gets sick, I will treat it. I don't like feeding an antibiotic to "keep it from getting sick". I have raised hundreds of calves over the years; off farms, from the stockyards, etc. A couple of times I had gotten med milk replacer as that was all there was and I was needing it, but always got the regular as soon as I could and kept the other for an emergency. The biggest thing about calves, they need colostrum first, and then they need ALL MILK, MILK REPLACER. The vets here have said that the scripts are good for 6 months, and that is what I have read in the paperwork that I have seen so your vet is wrong about the 3 months. Technically you could not feed it after the 1st of the year if you had gotten a pallet of it last Dec. So how many people are going to tell the "authorities" that they bought medicated milk replacer last dec so they can feed it in 2017? If you knew about it, and knew it was medicated, then you should've checked on the type of medication to see if it was going to be under the restrictions. Certain things like corid are not restricted which is for coccidiosis. [/QUOTE]
