[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 266401, member: 57"] hmm. i dont know but i have a calf that acts similar right now. i found a black cherry tree down in the pasture and i remember that cow and calf lounging near it. it had obviously been browsed. thats the reason i did a scan to see who was around. a day or two later that calf had pretty much lost all coordination in his back legs. he mostly laid in the shade all day and would stagger around at dusk. the cow returned to him. sometimes he would just fall down out of the blue, roll a bit, and eventually sit back up. its been a couple of months and he is now getting back to normal. he'll never be 100% i dont think but he is getting around good now. I dont think that is what was wrong with your calf though, just sharing. the vitamin thing sounds like a good guess. Also, it is possible for stockers to get grass tetany, not just cows. what kind of forage were they on at the time? [/QUOTE]
