[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 264771, member: 539"] As far as why he is 4 weeks early - cows/heifers due dates can be +/- 10 days to 2 weeks. Is it possible she was bred earlier than you thought? With a first calf heifer, that -10 days to 2 weeks plus a week of messing around would just about equal a 21 day cycle. I can't comment on the Micotil because I have no experience with it. Otherwise, I would say you did good! The only thing I would suggest is that you might want to consider an additional shot of b vitamins to help stimulate his appetite. I've got my fingers crossed and I am saying a prayer that he pulls through ok, despite his rough beginnings. Good job! [/QUOTE]
