We got a couple of bull calves ( Chip and Dale) back in July 2011. I dewormed and banded them when they got here. The smallest of the 2 has always had diarrhea off and on. I thought that maybe it was because of the switch in feed but his brother has had no symptoms. Dale's backside is constantly messy as well as his legs and I'm tired of hosing and combing him out. I got him some antibiotics to see if that would help and it didn't change anything. I was thinking possibly Johne's but he's not wasting away. He eats just as much as our other steers and seems to be growing well. I have noticed that he stands by himself sometimes looking down but that could be because we expanded our herd. I'd say he's had the runs 75% of the time he's been here. I plan on sending in a fecal this week. Any thoughts?
