1st calf of the year

Bull calf, Beefmaster sire on a good sized Corriente type cow. Please excuse her condition... I am still figuring this all out. Second year having cows. The beefmaster bull grew wheels and now we have a South Poll bull.

Good looking calf ! Momma looks like she might be a pasture cleaner . (Clean everything out that messes with her baby ) .

I got rid of the rank ones. She is a good balance of "keeps her distance" from me but also doesnt try to run to the hills when I'm around (or chase me and try to kill me like some others have done)

Calf looks good. The mom needs groceries, especially with the milk demand that dude is going to put on her.

Firat Calf--- born with front feet bent under. Joint is stiff, worked it a little and straighten the foot out, went back to being bend over.
Gave it 1 cc of BOSE, sounds like i can cast it with Pvc pipe , Has any one had this happen. thankyou so verry much for good advice. Bunny WA. ST.

I know that is frustrating to get a new born and have stiff joints. Usually with a large calf , keep working with him and massaging his legs, it usually takes a few days or even a week to get going. Don't give up, good luck A tube of banamine paste a few cc's
daily will help.

We had one born with bent back feet this year. Trimmed down a couple paint stirring sticks for splints and wrapped fairly tight with vet wrap. Calf was up and walking in a few days. He lays around allot now like it hurts to walk. He gets around good though.
