[QUOTE="JSCATTLE, post: 1399857, member: 16648"] Glad your calf is doing better. I had a issue a few years ago with calves having buckled feet when born . They would walk on the front of the ankle so to speak. 10 out of 50 turned out like that .. also had a few cows retaining placenta . Stopped by and the vet told me it was a mineral problem. He ask if I put out free choice mineral . Which I always have. I didn't really pay attention but they really didn't like the mineral I was using and would not eat much of it . I changed and the next year I didn't have the problem. I do notice very few of the cows still don't eat the mineral . they get redish tint on their shoulders..those cows and the bull get multi min at first worming in the spring . Doc also said sometimes calves are just deformed kinda like human babies. But most of that will correct itself before 6 months of age. [/QUOTE]
