[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 492564, member: 6198"] If you are having problems with scours for more than one animal you could talk to your vet about an oral scour vaccine. There is a catch and it is a doozer...gotta get it in the mouth before the first suck is best or with in the hour or two of calving...will help with future problems Crowding and dirty suroundings is a big problem with scours. We calve in the spring but it can get dang cold (-30). A new born goes into the barn until it's dried off. Less that 24 hours prefer less that 12 most it's about 4-8hours, depending on space. After that it's bagged and tagged needled and out of the barn, away from the cows that have not calved area into a large big cow calf area. This area has seen no animals since October of the previous year, and then only a few to graze it down in the summer. We do have a small area in front of the barn incase there is a problem with a pair mothering up. This is real important for calf health As well we have small calf shelters for the dried off calves to go into incase of bad weather or just want a place to snuggle down in the dry straw. [/QUOTE]
