Calf Management
Aids Dairy Profits

Poor management in the calf
barn may mean no profits in the
dairy barn when the animals grow
up and begin production, says John
Dietrich Extension danyman at
the University of Maryland.
Dietrich recommends special
watchfuurss over calves for the
first two months after they are
born, because this is the most crit
ical period of calfs life. During
this period the calf should be de
horned at about 10 days to two
weeks Of age The most common
method Of doing this job is to use
caustic preparation, either
liquid, paste or a caustic potash
stick. Electric dehorning equip
ment is available that does a quick,
clean and safe job without leaving
am open wound"
Dietrich says calves should be
properly identified to eliminate the
possibility Of getting records con
fused Eartags or neckchains with
numbers may be used until
sketches. photographs or tattoos are
made for permanent Identification.
Young calves need protection
from severe weather and Dietrich
recommends individual pens or
stalls that are well bcdded, dry and
free from drafts. Care should be
taken that all calves in a pen are
approximately tho same age and
size so they all have the same
chance to eat. Feed boxes should
be located at height that enables
calves to reach them with ease and
they should be attached so they
can be removed and cleaned when
necessary.
The Extension dawyman points
out that the extra teats which
dairy heifers often have in addi-
ton to the four normal ones have
no value and dctract from the APP
pearance of the udders. He says
extra teats may be removed when
the calf is vaccinated or any time
before the calf is a year old. The
recommended method is to cut the
extra tcats off with clean, sharp
scissors and to disinfect the area
around the teat before and after
the operation. Usually there is lit
tie bleeding and healing is rapid.
Another important step in man
aging hcifers is vaccination for
Bangs disease. Dietrich says the
local veterinarian should be called
to do this job before the calf
reaches eight months Of age.

A cleaning polished floor, a white
wash hanging on the line, freshly
papered room, these are some Of
the satisfactions Of homemaking.
Dr.. Overstreet is right, in my
opinion, when he says we all lack
imagination, failing to see some
times the important things we all
hold in our grasp, and often fail to
make the most of.
There is a prayer that will give
US new vision, no matter what
our tasks.
The tasks Thy Wisdom hath as

In all my work Thy Presence
find,
And prove Thy Good and Perfect
