Summer Scour Syndrome should be renamed "the frustration syndrome"

Calves naturally graze the tasty top of the grass, which is where the nitrogen is most concentrated.

Summer scour syndrome is the disease that leaves me baffled on a regular basis in practice. Although we haven’t seen much of summer weather-wise, cross the country, calves are suffering from this complicated disease. 

Unfortunately, it has come knocking on my own door with four calves affected this year, my Dad said he has never seen calves “melt” like these did. It really is a soul-destroying event to happen on the farm as you put in the hard work as calves, feeding and weaning to be in vain.
