Well I'm glad I found this forum. I hope I get some advise.
I have a problem with my calves having white scours. The mothers are good strong cows. A mixture of herfords, angus,
even a brahma.... They give birth easy then about 3-7 days, they start the "white scours" Sometimes we can catch them and treat them with Naxcel/Dexmethazone, some mu-se and
c & d anti toxin. They seem to perk up. We lost one this year... we just missed it when we found her she was rough...
flies maggots (you get the picture) We gave her several lactated ringers and she seemed to be pulling through and she did well for a week then she started to fail and died.
Anyway my theory.... The mothers let down their milk late
and the calves suck and suck and get too much milk... or it's something on the farm somewhere.... Please help I have several other questions and will be offering my two cents when I can.
