[QUOTE="darcelina4, post: 1611315, member: 27059"] I've bought lots of fresh bottle babies. I've not lost a single one. Dont give ant vaccines as they dont have the mechanism in place to get any good from them until a couple of months old. Did you give them real colostrum or the powdered kind? I would get another 1/2 gallon of the real stuff into them asap. Do iodine or chlorhexidine the navel. Do good calf care- keep them dry and out of the wind, feed at an exact time each day, feed milk at 103 degrees, feed all milk protein milk with no soy or sprayed plasma, ect. Some of the healthiest calves I've gotten at the sale barn. I've bought lots of farm calves and lost a few mostly due to the "bad information " aka lies ive been told by a few people. Keep your thermometer handy and take their temperature often. Have meds on hand to treat if temp is under 100 or over 102.6. If sick at all add an electrolyte bottle at noon. Again just do really good basic calf care and they should do well. [/QUOTE]
