[QUOTE="ameadows, post: 255354, member: 4460"] Hi everyone. I am new to this site. I bought a 4 day old Holstein bull calf yesterday. The dairy farmer didn't want him because he was "knuckled over" on his front hooves. He weighed over 100 lbs at birth. He is drinking well from the botle I am giving him and tries very hard to stand up, which he can do it just looks uncomfortable and he doesn't have great balance. My husband has kind of sat him over his lap to feed him. Quite a big baby. I have been massagin his tendons at the back of his hooves in hope that will help his feet straighten out. Does anyone have any suggestions or info. And please can someone tell me how fast these guys grow and what is the best way to handle him. He is pretty cute right now but I realize he is a bull and will be large. I don't know much about Holstein temperment. Please advise A meadows [/QUOTE]
