  1. Herbal Tea for Calves

    Hello!

    We had two calves that came to the farm rather sickly. They developed a cough and runny nose. They sounded awful! I made them a bucket of herbal tea each day.

    Here is the recipe:

    Bring 5 quarts of water to boil. Remove from heat.

    Add 1/4 cup each of dried leaves of the following:

    • hyssop
    • comfrey
    • mullein

    Cover. Let steep (with no extra heat) for 2 hours. Strain out the leaves. Stir in 1/2-3/4 cups of blackstrap molasses. When the tea is warm (a comfortable drinking temperature) but not hot, feed to calves. My calves loved it, in fact, they fought over it.

    Here is a video of it:

    The calves "shared" one bucket of tea each day. I did this for about 2 weeks. The best part is that the cough and runny nose did clear up! And the calves and I became friends. 🙂
