[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 1068815, member: 2905"] Just checked them right before dark and calf was up eating silage. His rearend looked good and he seemed to be feeling fine. For further clarification, these cows/calves primary nutrition comes from dairy corn silage waste/pulloff fed free choice. Due to the inconsistent amounts of silage received they are turned out into pasture or a hay lot as needed, until more silage is received. In this case silage was received on Monday and due to impending rain, cows were turned into a strip of fresh grass Tuesday while a fair amount of silage was still in front of them. By Thursday morning, grass was getting short and old silage was gone, but more silage was available and brought in. Both the cows and calves have access to the silage and the calves start nibbling on it when a few weeks old. Wondering if calf in question might have overindulged on silage Thursday and Friday resulting in the runny white poop. He seems to be feeling/doing fine, but will keep an eye on him. Just have never seen this type poop on calves that are over a few days old and it concerned me. Thanks for all the feedback. [/QUOTE]
