[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1846648, member: 637"] I think it is important to write about problems we face with calves or cattle. When I write that the calf is premature at 2 weeks old, which is easy for a cow to go a shorter term gestation, and much better than her going 2 weeks over as the calf continues to grow inside her. Makes for a more difficult birth. But by writing what I am going through and giving all the things listed that could be the cause, there are a lot of new cattle people searching for the same problem on line, and these things pop up in a search. I have had cattle for a long time and have been through about everything there is to go wrong. Tubed more calves than I wanted to. Some because they got sick and some that would refuse to suck a bottle and fought like crazy because the cow had twins and would not accept both. Just one cow that would not take both. Type in a search engine for cattle problems, and it often sends them to this site as we all discuss the problems. I hope to end this posting that the calf began to suck a bottle. And maybe people will find a solution to their problem as well. I don't think this calf has full blown white muscle disease, but he needs a boost in his drinking. Doesn't seem like a dummy calf as I had only one of those before. [/QUOTE]
