We had a newborn early this morning. Something isn't quite right so wanted to get some opinions . The dam is a golden child cow (this is her second calf) and the sire is Gigiloe Joe. It's been 17 hours and he hasn't nursed yet so we gave a bottle of colostrum mix. He has a good sucking reflex and was obviously hungry. However, his legs are turned out a little in the front and seem to be a bit too straight in the rear and he doesn't want to hold his head high enough to nurse from Mom. Back, spine, etc. seems fine. He will not move around very much either.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Is it too early to make any assumptions about leg concerns? Thanks for your opinions.
