[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 718008, member: 852"] It's a relative's calf. I talked with one of the hired hands this morning and he said the calf was actually fine until part way through the summer when the cows went to summer pasture. Doesn't know what happened but said the calf was fine earlier. Calf out of a first-calf heifer. I'd thought I'd heard earlier the calf had always been this way, but apparently not. Snakebit was the hired hand's best idea. Thanks for the input, keep it coming please. I'd like to get permission to put this calf down this afternoon, but I'd also kinda like some ideas for what's wrong with the calf before I pull the trigger and can no longer evaluate him... :P :oops: If I were to necropsy him, is there anything in particular I should look for in the hind end region?
