[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 217255, member: 1974"] This is too late for you, but my advice to anyone thinking about purchasing a calf --- NEVER spend more than what you can afford to throw away. Now for your calf...you said you keep her tied 24/7, if that is true then [b]turn her loose[/b]. Have a small pen where she can be loose and have a separate place where you tie her and feed her. Since she is getting worse she could be getting stir crazy over being tied up since you got her. Leave hay in her loose pen, but lead her to water and to her stall for feed. Don't pull her, let her think you have all the time in the world for her to go where you want her to go. Just stop her from going where she wants to go. Just stand still until she finally starts walking the direction you are directing her to go. Don't ask a lot from her for the next week or two, just back and forth from her loose pen to her stall to be fed and watered. Do you have any other cattle? She could be wanting someone to play with, not a good idea to let her do that with people. [/QUOTE]
