    Birth Defect, or Newborn normal?

    Thank you 3waycross. I figured the same as you. I was just hoping I might be wrong about that. As for me doing it with my rifle.. eh. I can shoot at targets all day, but doubt I have the stones to shoot her. As much as I dont want her to suffer any longer, Ill have to wait for my Daddio to...

    Birth Defect, or Newborn normal?

    Got a heifer that came 3/1. The buzzards had a bite or two of her and 4 coyotes had to be run off. So far, she is still alive. I have questions. Never had a baby before and she is here because my daddio has never had a calf like this and she cant get up enough to nurse from her mamma. I have a...

    Lol! You're right! :-) i know zip about cows. I raise poultry. My parents have cows and i never got involved. She was born yesterday and her legs bend forward at the knee and splay out sideways vs. the normal direction-toward her rear and straight up and down. So much so she couldn't get her...
