[QUOTE="dgott, post: 631556, member: 9487"] RR I appreciate your questions, no the vet did not check for IBR or BVD. She does all sizes of animals, no she is no a cow specialist. Yes it is a hobby and I am only doing it for enjoyment and to expose our foster children to these animals hoping to teach compassion and empathy. Sometimes wounded children can relate to helpless baby animals better than people. I have great respect and appreciation for people who do this for their income, to me that is a whole different ballgame. I did the math or part of it, I still dont have the vet bill from yesterday but I bought this calf for 35 dollars and have spent almost 170. I would not buy a calf from a sale barn ever again! I had bought 3 calves from a trusted dairy farm that are doing great but my dh want a beef calf. I didnt think it was a good idea because I had read enough to know this could happen. I am always reading, and asking questions to learn, I am trying very hard to do this the best way I can but I will try and set better boundries with the extreme I will go to save one. I honestly wished we had stopped after the Baytril, Draxxin, and maybe NuFlor but it is very hard for me to put one down that is still eating on her own. She stopped for a short time and then started eating again. You maybe right about the PI. Thanks again for your questions there is a lot to be said for having to give an answer and it has helped me learn. [/QUOTE]
