As your calves are now being weaned and are outdoors, its time to start thinking about what treatments are required to keep their growth rates high. They need adequate worming (talk to Eddy about developing a worming program tailored for your calves) and Copper supplementation BEFORE the facial eczema season starts and they then will need Zinc (as Copper and Zinc should not be given at the same time).

These treatments can be done on farm yourself, or you can book one of the vets to come out and administer them for you. We have Copper Bullet Guns available for loan for you to treat your calves - please phone in advance to ensure we have one in the clinic.
