[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 217014"] Depends on the bull... we run all of ours with calves and never have any problems. Once the bull calves get to about nine months we get them out of there to avoid any trouble. Mind you, Shorthorns aren't known for being aggressive! :P Having said that, it does sound like the fella's been picked on. I'd be telling the vet I want him out to have a look. Or take the calf in. If herd health is up to scratch who knows what it might be. Have you watched what he's been passing? He couldn't have eaten something he shouldn't? Could be any number of things, hard to say without actually seeing him. You really just need to use your own intuition. Personally I'd have the vet out if I didn't know what it was, rather than leave it. [/QUOTE]
