[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 363056, member: 57"] um. ok here goes. you are not necessarily up the creek. the other two may or may not have problematic calves. they probably will be fine. certainly the potential for a problem is there, if they are also bred to their father and you have already had problems with the daughter/father mating. however, assuming they arent cloned sisters, they should all have varying degrees of genetic makeup. thereby hit or miss depending on which good or bad genes they possess. you now know there are potential problems lurking in the gene pool though and to avoid inbreeding/linebreeding this bloodline (at least!) from here on out. as far as the calf goes if you can get him (EDIT: i see that it is a "she" now- just pretend like the he's say she) to eat and he is capable of standing he should be raisable. i had a retarded one one time and his head was really big and he was pointy nosed and had very small ears and just had a clearly retarded look. he reminded me of the retarded guy on The Goonies. he never could figure out how to stand with his front feet and i couldnt really feed him either b/c his mouth wouldnt open enough. i was actually pretty amazed the heifer was able to have him considering the size of his head (and it wasnt swollen from calving difficulty either).
