[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1799674, member: 39373"] I should also clarify. Don't think I've ever had a real "downer" either. As in one that won't stand and be active. Been very fortunate. Closest I came was Ellie Moo's February calf last year. But he was active as all get out. Even with his droopy/stroke like face. Just very sporadic on taking bottles. I did have a purchased cow that lost her calf. I put an orphan on her and she took the calf immediately. Problem was, 3 days later that calf was DOWN! Got the cow in the chute and only ONE quarter worked and it was gritty nasty milk. Sold the cow and bottled the calf a while. She came right around with a bottle. So yes. DEFINITELY check the cow. Guessing don't cut it when it comes to milk production [/QUOTE]
