[QUOTE="twizzel, post: 7899216, member: 64240"] Ok thanks. I will speak to Mr Twizzel about lime. Might be worth a try. Most calves have enough colostrum from mum but a few heifers have been lacking enough so have topped up. They aren’t the milkiest and most of the cows are yet to calve. The calf I brought in today was out of a really milky heifer, textbook unassisted calving and sucked within an hour of being born. Calves stay in calving pens for a week (group pens, 40x20ft) whilst they have halocur and get their intranasal vaccine. Pens are really deep bedded. This year we’ve got more space than ever as the store cattle are up in another shed, yet still having problems. Always lift afterbirths. I will get a dip cup and see if that makes any difference. It might just be bad luck 🤷🏻♀️ But it’s frustrating me either way. Will also have a go with the lime but as I work off farm at our vets a few mornings a week, Im not always there when they do the yard work. I’ll see what the vet says about blue spray rather than iodine, whether that might be worth a try too. Maybe dip then spray a few hours later. Thanks ☺️ [/QUOTE]
