[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1844465, member: 39373"] Jan's recommendation is what I've sometimes done. I've also dyed teats with kool-aid powder In addition, if u can get the calf up and caught, "lick" it's butt a few times with a warm washcloth. If ya get yeller poops...... there ya go Something else ya can do is pen em up in a fairly clean pen and watch for milk poops on the ground. No advice on the "short version" as I've not paid that close attention! This is Meconium (first poop) Notice the calf is still wet! Only a couple hours old at most. Mama was just cleaning up placenta. And it was obvious calf had already nursed. I did not notice a pee event. We all know what milk poops look like I think.
