[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1624128, member: 25884"] The calf will die if you take it back to the country because it has no bond with a cow. I also think that it could have some underlying problems if it did not get colostrum and unless you address them, you are sentencing it to die by taking it back. Better to shoot it than to take it out there to die a lingering death. Navel or joint ill and some stomach difficulties are probable. This is a bottle calf and you need to accept that idea. I also agree that it needs to be looked at by a vet as it may be a bit dehydrated, or if it has other problems, a vet should be able to pick up on it and may need some antibiotics and other nutritional support such as TCRanch has suggested.
