[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 515279, member: 6198"] Besty, I am sorry for what you are going through. It is hard to do. I hate to say this but i am going to anyway This is where the pencil meets the paper. Add up what you have paid in expenses, medications and vet fees as well as electrolytes and what have ever else was spent and determine if you are going to do anything more or make the decision to sink or swim on her own or to do what all cattle people hate to do. Realize what you think you might get for her if she lives and grows out for six months. But when doing the math realize she will never reach her full potiential at six or seven months when you wean. Add to that that when you wean and stress her out she might very well get good and sick next time. I know i will get shot for saying this but so be it. Been there too many time to count. Forgot the lesson and did it again...The lesson of spending to much to save one poor calf that was not meant to be. [/QUOTE]
