[QUOTE="DallasGal, post: 1313200, member: 24909"] Hello, Last week, we had a full term, fully formed calf born weighing less than 20 lbs; that is a guestimation, he hasn't been officially weighed, but I can easily pick him up with one hand and tuck him under my arm. He is extremely small and light. However, he is vigorous, alert, walks, runs, eats (bottle fed) very well and is doing great - which I'm obviously thankful for. The only reason he is being bottle fed is b/c he's so short that he would have to strain too much to reach the udders and we were concerned about him getting proper nutrition. We call this little guy "Two Cents." He is the smaller of the two calves in the pictures linked below. The bigger calf (Peyton) is only two weeks older than Two Cents and was actually a bit of a runt himself, although he does not look it compared to the little guy. Is Two Cents just naturally at the extreme smaller end of the normal size curve or is it possible he has some form of Dwarfism? He appears to be completely proportionate and without defect, besides his short stature of course.
