[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 643218, member: 6198"] Well we took care of the calf, and we are trying to graft a twin onto the mother. The twisted calf just never un twisted itself even with an anti inflamatory and some muscle massage. The last tubing did not seem to digest in the calf and the calf started pooping red poop. Top that off to the cow wanting to try and jump start the calf and we think dislocated the front knee joint. I know this is awful to say, but sometimes i wish calves like this were born DOA. I know some can be saved but others can not. Maybe it is cause i am a little jaded or maybe it is cause i can see the $ going out the back end. Don't get me wrong here, I am glad we took the cow to the vet. She should be able to produce a calf next year since she is a good momma. I did tell her that if she did not take the twin and raise it, as Co CEO of the farm, I would fire her. :D :o [/QUOTE]
