Full-term bull calf, born alive. Hairless (for all intents and purposes), missing an eye-ball and blind in the other eye. Other than the missing eye and hair, appears to be normal and fully formed. Mother claimed it, calf didn't stand and suck, but has/had the sucking reflex and would suck fingers. Calf was brought to the lab where it will be euthanized and tested. The calf is/was 100% Black Angus, out of 100% cow (non-registered) AI bred. At this time I do not know the sire but can and will find out. Not one of my animals.
Very interesting. I've not actually seen anything quite like this before.
Didn't have my camera, therefore I have no pictures. But, imagine one of those hairless cat or dog breeds, with one eye 'sealed' shut with no eye-ball behind it and the other eye all cloudy blue. Very odd.
Until the lab results become available, any ideas?
