Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot | Keep in mind I'm out west, and wide open space is one thing we are blessed with... But the last thing I'd want to do is have cows calving or with calves in a pen that small. Looks like a mud and disease haven to me. We've calved here for 8 or 9 years and had 1 calf with scours, something I attribute to never having any mud. We give pre calving shots in the fall, vac and tag the calves when they hit the ground. No sick calves, only time we have to doctor anything is cow with calving problems, and good genetics and culling cows has all but eliminated that. In that case it can be pain to get the cow the quarter or half mile to the corrals, but I'd rather keep them spread out and healthy than make it easy to doctor them... And then need to all the time.
Nieghbor calves out on a stubble field, it gets worked up every spring so they aren't going to hurt anything there, something like that available? | |
