green looking calf

[sw]

I have a calf that I weaned about 6 weeks ago and am now trying to sell him but he looks really skinny because he is just so green. I was wondering if there is any way that I could make him come out of this stage that he is going through any quicker. I was thinking about some show bloom but am not shure. He is on a really good starter and I am adding some full tank to his feeding. Thanks for any replies

these things take time. he just needs to grow, and fill out. i've seen calves change dramatically within 1 week, so if you can get a few pictures that would be great.

like Minimoo said, give him time. Some don't develop as fast as others. Try worming & also probiotics if he's not gaining.

Get rid of the full tank, you need him eating and growing, full tank, beet pulp etc. are all fillers all you are doing with that is decreasing his feed intake.
