[QUOTE="slazyk, post: 301059, member: 5213"] We fall calve, had a snowstorm during peak of calving, even tho we fed cows, we know for a fact some cows just plain like pine needles. Wellll, shortly after the snowstorm we started getting retained placentas on a bunch of 3 yr olds. Figured out they were eating pine needles, luckily the calves born were full term. We still had the retained placentas. We normally just let them go for a couple days, if they don't clean we'll run them in and give them a long-acting penicillin shot. Once. We haven't had to do that this year, they've cleaned themselves and gone on with their lives. We use very little antibiotics in our herd so it seems when we need to use it, the problem clears up [b][i]fast[/i][/b] [/QUOTE]
