[QUOTE="JenkinsFarm7, post: 1013472, member: 19826"] Hard to say without pics. First of all sorry to hear about the calf. Second you might need to call the vet. Now some information on a calf I had. One of my better commercial calves twisted the joint on a rear leg, called the vet and he said I had two options. 1. He could do surgery and the calf should recover in 6 weeks for about 600.00 dollars 2. Leave the calf alone and he should recover in about six weeks on his own. We chose option two, gave the calf a few shots and a lot of prayer, he was running with the others in no time crooked leg and all. We didn't let the calf get over 650# before we utilized him for a beef. Although this calf was not a registered calf like yours IMO you might not want to hold this calf for breeding due to possible re injury. I would check to see if the joint was dislocated or broken before I attempted to let it heal on its own. If dislocated set it and forget it.Good luck and hope he gets better. [/QUOTE]
