[QUOTE="angie1, post: 560277, member: 3886"] He has been wormed. [u][i]IF IT WERE MINE[/i][/u] ~ I would NOT bring the pair up. The mom is in good condition and has plenty of milk, she does not need to be supplemented ~ she is not lacking. Seperating out for one calf who [u][i]is healthy[/i][/u], just built differently then the others, is just one more thing to mess with and will potentially stress the mom. The calf has plenty of milk, feeding him grain is not going to impact the growth worth the time and grain you invest. If he is not performing on milk as the others are, I don't know that investing the extra time and grain is going to help. The others are performing as they are. Maybe he is just growing frame, is a different breed, is a lesser performer. Do you propose she seperate him out til finish? If he catches up in a corral due to being timid around the others he will just fall back again when re introduced ~ and it wil be worse for having been seperated from the herd. [/QUOTE]
