[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 638276, member: 6198"] At a month old, he is not very filled out, but that might just be the way he is standing too. I'm thinking he is stunted from not a good nutrition source. If the mother was wasting away,her milk would have been the last thing on the body's mind. When cattle or anything are ill, the body's natural defence is to try and cut the energy to extras, and focus on nourishing the rest of the body. As SR Beef suggested get this calf tested before you have a problem, while you are at it, get a BVD test done and if you are so inclined and have the $ talk to your vet about this being genetic. Get a genetic test done. If it is genetic, your bull and cows related to this one could have more of these little ones in the future. But I am leaning to not enough groceries in the early stages of life RR [/QUOTE]
