[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 712416, member: 5106"] You might want to add some grain in her ration, 3-5 lbs a day should help with her frame score some may suggest even more . Even if she is a pet, and I completely understand as cattle really are special creatures, she needs proper nutrition . You are doing well, but make sure she has free choice minerals each day as well. Like I said before it sounds like she was not bottle fed properly and has been stunted..Not that it is your fault as bottle feeding is not as simple as it sounds. BTW I have a smaller framed cow that was stunted as she was weened to early, she has some of the highest weening weights in the herd, always calves on her own and just raised two huge twin calves all by herself. So size does not necessarily mean calving problems. Next time you go to your vets do not be afraid to ask 50 million questions ,that is what they are there for.. Anyways, good luck with your pet, there is nothing wrong with having a pet cow. You should halter train her if you haven't already and maybe teach her to pull ..She might as well be useful as well as having fun working with her. [/QUOTE]
