Facts
Dairymen
Should
Know
By: Victor Plastov
Associate Agricultural Agent
Young calves need diy quart
ers Dairy calves can be raised
under Winter management con
ditions Health*, vigoious calves
are the result of adequate hous
ing and sanitation, together with
proper feeding and management.
Draft-free and dry quaiteis with
good ventilation and some sun
light, if possible, aie most impor
tant. Young calves can withstand
cold nicely as long as they are
dry and free from drafts High
hvmiditv in calf bains is easily
controlled with exhaust fans.
Respi-aUiy diseases usually re
sulting in a calfhood nneumoma
are caused by drafty, damp quar
ters for calves. Individual pens
tm caives being fed on whole
milk substitute aie ideal Once
the calves have been weaned,
they can be giouped by ages in
small numbers in laiger pens.
The use of single pens for young
calves permits closei observa
tion and management, resulting
in giving the calf a good start In
life In' short, sanitary precau
tions in feeding and caring for
young calves is sound insurance.

Clues to breeding condition
Discharges from the icproduc
tive organs often provide good
clues as to the breeding condi
tion of a cow. It is normal for a
cow to discharge various kinds
of fluids and sloughed-off tissue
for a few weeks following calv
ing. However, if this kind of dis
charge is seen more then 30 to
40 days after calving, it is a sign
of trouble which will probably
lequire veterinarian treatment if
the cow is to settle piomptjy.
The dischaige which is seen
when a cow comes in heat should
resemble a raw egg white. Any
othei appeal ance should suggest
that the cow is not ready for ser
vice. 'By carefully observing
these discharges and calling for
veterinarian help promptly,
when needed, you can often
avoid long delays in getting cows
to settle.
Are you moving into free stall
housing’ Here aie some points
to think about- Cows are crea
tures of routine and regular ha
bits. A change from tiaditional
housing to free stall housing
places a stress on dairy cattle,
1 Get cows used to change in
diet befoie you move them. Do
not add anything to the feeding
progi am when > ou move them.
2 Be sure fiee stalls aie well
filled with bedding the same
kind you had in the old barn.
Fiai-e at least 6 inches more bed
ding in fiont then in rear of
stall
3 Covei all conciete surfaces
with gut to pi event slipping.
4 If you can. move cows into
the new quaiteis by groups rath
er then the whole herd at one
time Once a few cows aie accus
tomed to a new loutine, others
follow more easily Move the dry
cows in the low producers first.
5 Recognize that both cows
and men will be operating under
