Well despite my lack of good husbandry. Things are winding down here. Only 18 left to calf.
so that means 175 calves have been through this shed since February 20th. Apart from one calf that was “wierd” from day 1 all calves have left the shed happy and healthy sold to private buyers. No scours no antibiotics. Amazing.

How often do you clean out straw bedding? And do you know how many of batches you've generally had in each pen?

After each group. The pen is then sprayed with a crypto/cocci spray. 15 calves in each group.

Why do you say lack of good husbandry?

Apparently every cow should be left with its mother. Which we don’t do.
