Does sound as if it could be nutritional but can't be much of a vet if they haven't already queried the possibility.
Just shows what lack of sleep does! I actually meant Cryptosporidiosis although they sound a bit old for that and a sh*t test would soon prove it, but hey, blame Covid .. every firm I deal with blames that for every missing or late order etc!Don’t tell Chris whitty for god sake cows will all be in masks
What's your definition of a hobby farmer? Did you drop out as an already expert farmer? Maybe he's just starting out?this sounds like a hobby farmer

I am thinking its still this naval infection....I had them on a 5 day course of antibiotics from vet.. look like its back ...as from dairy farm, calves are taken away at day old so the regular licking and cleaning from a mother cow is not their, where as with beef suckler you wouldn't get this problem, I didn't know this at the time but it looks like this is what my calves have. Hopefully makes sence. I'm still learning so I do apprisiate the help I hav gottenYou want your arse kicking tbh
Stop trying to feed them on the cheap. They will succumb to everything going if they aren’t thriving.

Can you go to to your local agricultural store tomorrow and buy a few 25kg bags of a calf pellet/youngstock cake. If they are calves that have had a shocking start they will need their hand holding all the way till 12-15months. I would sit down with an Ag vet and go through a sensible protocol for further purchasing.Sorry m8 ...this was my first batch of cattle .... even tho its brewery grain it has rolled barley and oats I didn't clarify that I can upload a picture of the product ... not very good at putting words together....

Naval problem is more a lack of quality colostrum than being licked cleanSorry m8 ...this was my first batch of cattle .... even tho its brewery grain it has rolled barley and oats I didn't clarify that I can upload a picture of the product ... not very good at putting words together....

Yes definitely, I know plenty of farms where calves have the first drink and then taken off to the rearing pens and thrive with no naval problems and very little problems at all considering how many their doing.Naval problem is more a lack of quality colostrum than being licked clean
If your vet can't diagnose a lack of nutrition I'd look for another one.But Vets aren't normally qualified as nutritionists. They spend more time in lectures at Vet School on how to fleece old ladies than on animal nutrition.
What exactly are you feeding them and how much/ often at what age? Give product brand and quantities, not photos or descriptions. You can’t get helpful advice if you’re being vague.Sorry m8 ...this was my first batch of cattle .... even tho its brewery grain it has rolled barley and oats I didn't clarify that I can upload a picture of the product ... not very good at putting words together....
