[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 219058, member: 1049"] ~~ You are absolutely correct. I would prefer to shoot the calf rather than have it go through all the stress and pain of transport, confusion, bad handling, etc etc etc. But it isn't my calf, so I can't do it. I am just trying to keep her alive and very comfortable until some decision can be made for her. Trust me, I will "steer" the owners in the direction that I feel is more humane. This calf had a horrible head tilt right up until I put the tiny yellow ear tags in. I just couldn't put the huge orange tags in her ears that we are putting in the rest of the calves as I was sure it would intensify her tilted head and hurt her. Look at the photos.. The tags balanced her head out. Who Knew ? Just kidding. The calf can actually stand. BUT when you put the bottle in her mouth she drops like a rock. Vickie the V, have you ever seen or had to deal with anything like this ? Is this falling down when bottle fed, normal for this kind of calf ? Ahhh Normal...what IS normal for this calf... ? [/QUOTE]
