[QUOTE="R V, post: 1219405, member: 18595"] I had a tiny ET calf come 6 weeks early and do fine. She always had bluish colored eyes and I suspect that her vision was poor. That recip got sick when she was 3-4 months pregnant with this calf and lost a lot (300 - 400 lbs) of weight. I didn't think she kept the pregnancy and was still putting weight back on her to sale when she had the calf (correct DNA by the way). The stress must have helped because I did give the calf colostrum to play it safe, but the calf was vigorous and momma want it. The tiny little thing would suck and the recip had plenty of milk and small teats. The recip (who never bred again after this) was smart enough to go stand on a creek bank or a little hill and the calf could barely reach her teats for weeks. I wish I had taken pictures. It was really neat. [/QUOTE]
