[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1192816, member: 18809"] Though I still think it is SP, and agree that calf will never make the show ring, he does look better in the second video. I have no experience raising an SP calf, so take this for what it is worth, nothing! I would continue to let the cow raise the calf. As long as the calf is thriving, and not in obvious pain, let the cow do her job but do not be afraid to make the decision to butcher the calf. I doubt you can sell him, the best best is to feed him as long as you think he is comfortable, and then have him processed for beef. I am unaware if there is a test out there for SP, but if there is you need to make sure you always use a bull that is free. You already know your cow carries it. Raising livestock is hard enough without all the stuff that the show genetics seems to infuse; good or bad. [/QUOTE]
