[QUOTE="fiddle889, post: 1751540, member: 42669"] My neighbor who is very much a large scale farmer offered me a calf yesterday. My neighbor will not bottle feed as he doesn't have time but I will try anything. The calf has a neck that seems deformed and cant move its head side to side. he can eat milk replacer from a bowl but wont take a bottle. so I have several questions. 1) does feeding a calf from a bowl or maybe a bucket harm them? 2) is there a name for this birth defect so I can maybe do some research. My neighbor took it to a vet and said bottle feeding it should be ok. 3) if it is something anyone has dealt with before, what information will be helpful? thanks in advance -Mat [/QUOTE]
