[QUOTE="Bill Elliott, post: 196454, member: 2946"] The Limosine bull issue is one I'll now chaulk up to experience. The next bull will be Angus. We are now bottle feeding 3/4 times daily. Thus far calf is taking the replacement milk. I've built a hoist to lift calf off ground and "sort of" stand. Vet came back and said hip is broken...which is not good. Vet is also a cattleman and comes with much experience and recommended I put him down due to his usefulness. I guess I could put him down since his "usefulness" is suspect...but the calf wants to live or at least appears to. I want to see if I can get it strong enough to get up on three legs and see if "mom" will accept it. I know it's a long shot but.... I realize I've brought this all upon myself and much of it is due to my inexperience...I'll take my lumps...all comes with learning. I do appreciate your comments and advice...keep it coming. Cheers, Bill [/QUOTE]
