We had a heifer calf born 2 days ago that has acted weird from the start. We had to help her get up and get her nursing. She acted like she was so stiff and when we would try to get her to nurse if we touched her anywhere near the mouth she would just fall flat down. It took awhile but we got...

We had a calf born that is what we think is a "bulldog" Achondroplasia. The question I have is - is that condition related to PHA at all or is it a separate deal? The sire is a THC/PHAC and the cow is THF/PHAF. From what I've read the two defects can be similar and people mis-diagnose what it...

Have a group of calves we are getting ready to sell this fall. Their manure is loose and messy. They are on a pretty hot ration with plenty of grass hay. Is there anything we can add to firm them up? They show no signs of being sick, just loose. Does drinking large amounts of water have anything...

Have a newborn calf that it almost looks like her joint right above her hoof is curved out the opposite way. Like she wants to walk on the outside of her toe. She gets around okay, is this something that will straighten out eventually?

What bulls are safe for first calf clubby heifers? No Worries, Jesse James? Also, thought about using a new Angus bull called, Slider.

Had a first calf heifer calve about 6 days early. Found a wet baby calf wandering around the pen and the heifer showing no interest in the calf. Put them into a box stall by themselves and tied the heifer up. At first she did nothing but kick and jump around, but finally settled down and the...

Have a calf that was born around 5 am. She never got up and seemed to be chilled. Brought her in the house around 7:45 am to get warmed up. Tried to give her colostrum but she wouldn't suck the bottle, so we tubed her. Also gave MultiMin. Around 11 am she was up and ready to go back out to mom...

We've had very healthy calves go from fine to acting lethargic and not nursing the cows. Caught one and treated him and he recovered, lost another one. Now we just noticed another acting the same way with a temp of 105.1. They are not coughing and no scours. What could be the issue?

I have a heifer that we AI'd, but about a week later she seemed to be in standing heat again, so we just put her in with the bull. If she had bred to the AI date she would be due in 3 days and she is looking like she could have a calf anytime. I also felt inside and felt a head and both feet...

The past couple days I have noticed that a few calves have had blood with their manure. They do not act sick at all but I am a little concerned about it. What could this be and how can it be treated? Can baby calves be given Sulfa boluses?

I have a 6 month old heifer calf that has loose manure all the time. She has been weaned for about 5 weeks and is on grass hay and calf pellets. Some days it is almost like water. I have tried Sulfa boluses but they do not help at all. What could be the problem? As far back as I can remember she...

I have a cow that had a discharge 16 days after being bred. It was not a clear discharge like they have when they are in heat though...but it wasn't like infection. I watch my cows closely and never saw any sign of riding or anything and I did check her to see if she was standing when I saw the...
