| I am sure I have had calves over the years that did not get colostrum and did OK, do I try to avoid that situation yes, but it happens. Feed good quality milk replacer 2x a day this time of year and get her to the sale barn ASAP, should have be gone by now, some of you will argue this, but most likely whomever buys her will have more experience with this then you, have better protocols and will not be conflicted what to do if she needs antibiotics, you cannot really treat her if she needs it and not hold her to till after withdrawal periods, unless you spend some money and get short withdrawal drugs. First and most important thing is DO NOT OVERFEED HER, keep her a little bit hungry. | |
