[QUOTE="SSS Angus, post: 154095, member: 2010"] I don't know for sure what he died from, I can only assume that it was probably from his injuries. It just seems really strange to me because I stopped by the feed store and picked up a bag of calf starter and he actually started eating on it pretty good and I also had him out of the barn stall yesterday and he was very energetic running around like he didn't have a care in the world.. He wasn't taking a bottle very good but he was starting to get the hang of it. I tube fed him a total of I believe 3 time's for a total of 6qts. I wish I knew for sure what he died of. Also, when I found him dead he was on his side and it appeared that he kicked quite a bit because while laying down he had kicked all the straw away all the way down to the dirt, almost like a human would make a snow angel. I fear that he may of had a painful death because of the way it appears he was flailing around. I also found it strange that when I tried to look down his throat to make sure he didn't get a hold of something and swallow it that he still had his cud in his mouth. [/QUOTE]
