CARE OF CALVES DURING AUTUMN Autumn is a critical period for calves. Deaths during winter can be eliminated by rotating the calves through the paddocks ahead of the cows at intervals of 3 or 4 days. If this is not being done, the Department of Agriculture recommends that it should be begun immediately. Calves treated in such a way will be up to 100lb. heavier as yearlings than those kept confined in a calf paddock. If calves are unthrifty and scouring, it may be necessary to give two or three doses of phenothiazine at 3-weekly intervals, but this is seldom necessary with calves which are rotationally grazed.
