Good to hear. I would still administer those drugs though. He needs those regardless of if he is sick or not.

One of the things we share with anyone new to livestock is you must have a few basic things on hand BEFORE you even bring the animal onto your land.
The number one thing is a thermometer.
Before you call a vet, before you call your mentor, before you do anything else ALWAYS take the temp!
We work with a lot of people and over the years the one thing they all learn is this-
Before they pick up that phone and call me at 1am, 2 am, or whatever hour- day or night the first words out of their mouth should be what the temp of the animal is!
It is good for all beginners to understand - it is a very important critical piece of information.
I know you are learning and so I definitely do not mean this snarky, rude or anything like that... but to encourage you... a thermometer is a few dollars. Get one label it LIVESTOCK ONLY!

We had to take the heifers temp the other day for the vet when we were on the phone with him. My fiancé was horrified that I got ours from the house. It's now in the barn and labeled animals only. And now I need to buy a new people one
