[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 841828, member: 391"] IMO Unless they are used to eating-- medicated feed for shipping fever is a waste of money. Medicated water is dangerous Metaphlactic shots are well worth the cost right now with the high cost of feeders. You don't SEE the sickly you need to worry about in the calves at the salebarns. Its just a given that They were stresses and exposed- no matter what you see. (ps-from I what little you wrote about that vet- I would be concerned about using her) BTW-- buying in the summer heat is just one more stress.And any calves that get a little sick will be real sick when it doesn't even cool down at night. They just don't have enough excess lung capacity to handle being sick and the heat too. [/QUOTE]
