[QUOTE="kernfarm, post: 1320117, member: 25096"] Just had my newborn calf do this but his knees go backwards. I've had a calf do that to where his ankles pop forward. Your vet should be able to splint him up and losen them over a period of time and he will eventually walk normally. Go ahead and get a bottle and milk replacer and some colostrum powder (all sold at your local farm store) and I'd bucket feed him so you can constantly be sure he's getting the milk he needs. Or you can keep the cow in a small area and feed her and just milk her 2-3 times a day. Call your vet and have him do splints. He'll be fine! [/QUOTE]
