[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 398327, member: 57"] well... your average beefmaster heifer should be able to deliver a 70lb calf with no problems and should milk better than that so something sounds a little screwy already. the calf sounds like he was knuckled under. for what reason? the hard pulling? cramped in a super tiny heifer? deficiency of some sort? i have never seen a knuckled under calf revert once he gets really straightened out. the time he reverted sounds like it was about the same time the "infection meds" were wearing off. its not uncommon for pulled calves to develop some sort of joint ill from all the stress and areas calves are pulled arent the most sanitary places either a lot of times. so i'm also leaning toward joint ill.
