Super healthy and looks to have no more scours. The other guy which is smaller (and possibly younger) is still scoured up and now has a runny nose. His eyes are still bright and he will get up…Read more

A happy healthy calf is the…Read more -

They are in a barn stall with no drafts and 2 heat lamps on them and plenty of straw to lay in and some fine stem hay and…Read more
