[QUOTE="Bama, post: 90191, member: 1184"] Another indicator that a calf is not feeling up to its best is standing with its head lowered. Sometimes its back will be arched. These along with the eyes and ears are something that you can see as it comes into the ring for the brief period you have to observe. You may still get one that comes down sick from the salebarn but its better to have it at least start out in good shape. I would rather have one start getting sick as we leave the barn verses one that was sick off the getgo. The latter one I don't know how long it has been sick or what has been done prior. One that gets sick after going to my place I at least know what hasn't been done and have a better understanding where to start. [/QUOTE]
