    Bougth a few calves this year mainly to give the kids an interest during lockdown. Here the last 7 weeks or so and coming up on 3 months old. Bout to go on milk once a day. Eating grass and nuts and thrivng well.
    Good few years since there was calves here so question is what is a rough idea of a health care plan for them. The likes of black leg, worms etc

    Gave mine a calf bolus a couple of weeks ago. They got a pour on for worms and fluke. First time rearing calves so would be interested in what answers you get here too

    I'd definitely give 2 blackleg vaccine shots (something like Tribovax 10) 4 weeks apart if you've got it in the area or any recent soil disruption. Maybe a lice treatment to keep flies away when out at grass the first few weeks before a worm treatment at maybe 4 weeks & then every 4 to 6 weeks.
