[QUOTE="ninin, post: 1311875, member: 24881"] Thank you all for the advise! I did butcher him and have being feeding it to the dogs in small portions. I got more meet I really thought I was going to get. Still not worth losing the calf for the meat I was able to take from him. In the other hand it was educative for my kids. I homeschool my 2 girls. We took this experience to learn about the anatomy of a bull and so on. They decided to take the fur and see if they could make a wall decoration so they are working on that. Little things made it seem like it wasn't such a waste but... I don't have a vet yet. I am new to this area, after 7 years in Germany. The only vet I found able to come to my land was going to charge $400 JUST TO COME AND SEE HIM.... seriously??? didn't include meds or treatment... too much money, didn't think it was worth spending that for a holstein calf. What will you recommend for pneumonia? All I have is Tylan 200 and penicillin g at this moment. [/QUOTE]
