HAVE A HOLSEIN CALF ABOUT A MONTH OLD AS STATED BEFORE HAS SEVERAL SMALL SPOTS WITH NO HAIR, NO SOARS OR FLAKEY SKIN JUST PINK UNDER IT.. ANY POSSIBLE CAUSES??? (cow)
Rocky Hill Simmental said:Has she had scours recently? Sometimes that takes the hair off. If not she might have lice or something. Sometimes putting too much dewormer on a baby calf can make some of their hair fall out.
Rocky Hill Simmental said:Just guessing, I'd think it was lice. Either that or maybe he got into some type of bedding or grasses he that upset his skin. If he does have lice maybe try some dewormer on him, it might take care of them so he won't lose anymore.
Sorry I called him a "she" (lol)
I feed my bucket calves medicated milk replacer too and they love it. I have 2 bucket steer calves right now and another who's getting weaned and he's not happy about it.
