[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 235195, member: 2308"] I'm with the others on this one. Some calves are just a little more lazy for the first few days, especially if they were BIG at birth. I would do as the others, and get her into a headgate and see if she has any milk. When you have seen the calf sucking, does his tail wag, or does he do a lot of bunting? Does he look gaunt or full when you get him up? Are his eyes bright or dull? Is his nose dried out and crusty or peeling? If he's only 3 days, and as long as the cow DOES have milk, I would just watch him for a few more days, and see if he becomes more active. [/QUOTE]
