Calf Management Tips

House recently weaned heifers individually for 2 weeks, then in small groups of 4-6 for several weeks until they are adjusted to competing for feed.
Develop individual farm programs which allow heifers to be monitored for growth on a regular basis.
Develop a system of "pens" on your farm which allows heifers to be fed and cared for in a labor efficient manner. Ideally this should be away from the milk cow barn.
With your veterinarian, develop and implement a vaccination program specific to your herd.
Have rations balanced using NRC or typical nutrient requirements, and adjust them based on the performance of your heifers.
Use a growth promotant from 6 to 22 months of age for feed effieciency and improved weight gains for an economical advantage.
Pay special attention to heifers two months prior to breeding to make sure they are of breeding size at the proper time.
Make sure all calves receive the proper level of colostrum at birth.
Pay special attention to young animals during cold and heat stress conditions.
Use Deccox in the early stages of calf development to prevent coccidiosis.
Prevent respiratory infections by reducing stress and ventilating facilities adequately.
Treat scours immediately with Scour Stop-R, code 307/1307 and Dex-O-Lite, code 930/931.
