    need to make up a bottle for tonight

    Give her a little squeeze between her back toe. Any response? I wouldn’t move her for a couple days. She may get worse before she starts improving. Is she eliminating?

    Sick bottle calf

    Quick question

    This happened 10 years ago, but bear with me & tell me what you think.... We had 2 holestein steers about 7-8 months old. Both on the same pasture, grain (16% dairy), and hay (regular grass hay). Both were cauterized when newborns with caustic paste on the horn buds. Ok, one starts walking...
