Is it always so nerve racking?

[QUOTE="OLF, post: 662494, member: 9761"] Calves from the auction are often dificult. First, there is a reason why a beef calf ends up at auction, and you have no way of knowing what that reason is. Second, if there wasn't something wrong with the calf when he went to auction, it's very possible he will pick something up at the auction. If you can get calves from a local farmer, it will probably go much smoother. You'll know the history of the calf and the environment he came from. On the Charlois calf, make sure you follow the Pen G label for follow up shots. On the Red Angus, watch for infection. He should survive being stabbed, but an internal infection afterwards is very possible, and would slow his development dramatically. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
