[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 583040, member: 4353"] We don't always agree, but I agree on this. I don't calve in corrals and never dip navals and so far have never had a case of naval infection. In the time my dad had a dairy and the cows spent the night in the corral there was a few stray cases over the years. If you do calve in a corral I would never say don't dip navals as I think its good practice, but out in the pasture or veld like in my case you're unlikely to to be able to dip every naval soon after birth and I would consider you very unlucky if you do get a case of naval ill because of bacteria that entered the naval because the cow just happened to calve on a spot of muck in a couple hundred of acres.
