My father-in-law had a calf similar to this a few years back. His calf's hind legs barely touched the ground so he walked on his forelegs 99 percent and his back legs would kick wildly. Craig was hoping extra weight as the calf aged would weigh down his hind end and he'd be able to walk better. However, it didn't happen and he ended up dying. Sorry to say, calf is a gonner.

probably for the best. You would have wound up spending so much time and money on her - is it worth it? Was she in pain? That would have also made the decision easier as well.

As depressing as it seems, a bullet would probably be the best solution
