Calving problem

Our ice chest cow calved last night and had a huge sunseeker bull calf. The calf had to be jacked out because it was so big, and now his hind legs are really weak. He is getting around ok but he is having a hard time picking the back right leg up. He is getting better each day but I want to make sure that he wont be affected by this in the future because he looks pretty good. Thanks.

nursemate asap...great for difficult births...probably not really helpful for injury type situations other than stimulating appetite...ive used this just when we have calved on really cold nights, to get the calves up and nursing as quickly as possible...

see the calf can get around and is sucking on its own now, but one of his back legs he just doesn't pick it up right. He kind of drags it.

He's just sore

So the calf should come out of it?

As long as it doesn't look broken should be fine

HAd one do the same thing, Vet said he pinched a nerve during birth. Never came out of it. We finaly made hamburg out of him at about 800lbs cause he couldn't get around. If I had to do it over I would of put him down early on. Sorry and good luck

he is sore probably sore I had a milkman steer that was stiff on his rear wheels but he came out of it in a few days
