[QUOTE="Dee, post: 100655, member: 350"] He is 5/8 angus 3/8 hereford. Mom went down with calving paralysis and is currently in the freezer. He had his black leg and boostered, Calf Perk (Vitamin) Probios + E at birth. He gets 2" flake of hay, which he cleans up, 1 1/2 lbs. pelleted beef feed, 2 lbs. corn, and 2 lbs. of sweet mix or a little more some days. I sprinkle with calf manna once in a while also. He weighed #78 at birth. Seemed to be doing quite well at first, now he is getting taller but is so thin. I will try the double worming on him. I think I am doing everything right. I had ther herd tested for BVD 2 years ago due to having a runt calf that never grew. He was the size of a Blue heeler at 8 months. They tested BVD free. That cow went to slaughter at weaning time. I thought perhaps he has some strange problem due to the fact I have never seen a calf lose pigment from scrapes. I hate to pawn him off to someone at the sale barn, but if he won't grow he's not worth the time, feed, and trouble. [/QUOTE]
