I just don't think that those photos are convincing of an underbite due to the initial photo not having erupted upper incissors.
I think Chaded is correct. You would have much more credibility if you didn't go calling every new born calf as having an under/over bite when you haven't examined them and in fact the owners have not seen a problem.

Well in looking at how calcium phosphate can be used I don't see how it could hurt... so I'll pass the information on to the kid's parents and they can make up their own mind.
Sadly, we live in an age of absolute, unquestioning belief in some very aberrant ideas... and yet instant skepticism for little reason... This age of easy information has no filters and absolute idiots with appeal are competing with true knowledge seen as politically incorrect and thus the average person (that never sees themselves as average) gets blown with the wind.
You are getting a hard time here and I'm not sure why. The information could be valuable, but only if someone has use for it and can test it. Otherwise I really don't get the vitriol...
Travlr, you have been very nice and I sincerely thank you. I have been called a liar about the birth defects ever since my husband, a game warden for Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks reported the first male white-tailed deer with ectopic testicles to his superiors in spring of 1996 after finding 8 yearlings (born in 1995) in a row with ectopic testicles. All of the deer older than a year old were perfectly normal. His superiors asked him to furnish intact accident-killed carcasses to the Wildlife Lab for the biologists there to examine. My husband gave 36 carcasses to the local MDFWP biologist, who took them to the lab. The lab issued a report on 28 of the deer and 11 fetuses from does too damaged to take intact to the lab. The report said that none of the deer had a birth defect, not even the 6 six month old fawns that had no scrotum at all and ectopic testicles or the fetuses with contracted tendons and/or underbite that was verified by a veterinarian and a famous wildlife biologist in writing (sent to the lab). The report said that birth defects were reported by inexperienced observers and untrained personnel and they were incorrect in their reports. Those people they referred to were my husband a graduate of the University of Montana who is and was a biologist with years of experience and the MDFWP biologist who also had many years under his belt as a wildlife biologist for MDFWP. Then because my husband was their best game warden and maybe one of the best ever, they blamed me and told everyone that I reported the birth defects and that I was wrong. The then governor of Montana even sent a letter to my parents stating that I was wrong when my mom wrote him a letter complaining about her son and his family having issues with pesticides used here and she mentioned the birth defects on the deer. She and I had different last names so he did not know that he was telling my own parents how wrong I was. I highly suspect he told the MDFWP laboratory personnel to cover up the birth defects in the first place, since he was so adamant there were none. Anyway, I am totally used to being laughed at, yelled at, called every name in the book, etc. I keep trying to save the newborns because without viable young, everything will go extinct and I love the baby wildlife. Little kids not so much - never had one - didn't want one, but I care about them.
