[QUOTE="ollie, post: 108044, member: 323"] A calf with maggots in it or on it will stamp their feet , lick their self , switch their tail , etc. Usually they get maggots in their navel , under their tail or on the top of their back. In my experience if the cows do a real good job cleaning the calf then maggots aren't as bad. This time of year though most calves born would be at least a suspect to have blowflies on them , thus the maggots . The only good prevention is not to calve summer months where blow flies are a problem. If you do then make sure the cow cleans them . I always but a small amount of flie spray or Ivermectin on a calf born in late spring or summer and watch the calf close. If they have blow flies on them then maggots will follow. They will kill a calf in short order left untreated. [/QUOTE]
