[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 350686, member: 57"] i had something similar. very small angus calf with twisted (bowed inward) front legs. she was nursing but not thriving so i tried to bottle her to no avail. she was so small i considered the possibility that she was a dwarf but i decided not. she died but i didnt really expect her to that night, i was planning to try the bottle again the next morning but she was a goner when i went to feed her. I found on the interenet something called twisted calf syndrome that is caused by the cows ingesting certain plants during pregnancy and also certain mineral imbalances cause this (and i decided a more likely cause). Some cows dont seem to eat minerals as well as others, Ive noticed. so theres some idears but who knows. [/QUOTE]
