[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 196470, member: 2905"] Bill Sorry to hear about the calf, have got to agree with Milkmaid, putting the calf down will be best for all concerned. This calf most likely will be in pain with every movement. It is admirable you are willing to expend the time & energy on this little guy. However the longer you delay the more difficult it will get for both of you and eventually you will have to expend a tremendous amount of emotional energy on this situation. Bottom line: The calf will have a poor quality of life at best & economically it will be throwing good money after bad. Best to cut your losses now and chalk this one up in the experience column as further efforts will only result in more experience. Sure tough to give up on one, but it will be for the best. Good luck & best regards. Brock [/QUOTE]
