We have 375 calves weaned and started on an independent life without their mama. A few have developed respiratory infections created by the extreme dry and dusty conditions due to the most severe drought in over 50 years. Fortunately they have responded very well to the treatment that we have implemented at an early stage of the disease. The calves have learned to eat a new ration that is 16% protein for 1/2 of their diet while still spending most of the day in the pasture eating grass that they have been familiar with the first 5 months of their life.
