just put him on a good bedding pack and leave him. this happens all the time with big holstein bull calves. splits are a waste of time on this. the tendents in the legs just need to stretch out. we had one that was almost walking on all four that turned out fine.
sorry i forgot about those 100,000 head. just wondering if they require a white hide or not? if they do they might need to change that in a few years when these colored charolais become more popular.
last time i check there weren't to many types of beef that are advertised as Charolais in the grocery store. :roll: that white hide might put doubt in the mind of the consumer :(
Red and black factor charlois take away the one thing that charlois had, the were their own breed. This now puts them in with all other solid color cattle and no longer makes them unique. Regardless of the reason for the color i think it is a mistake. I hope there are some breeders out there...
