Thank you, I resonate so much with all you have said! Once he went downhill and I realized how much he was suffering a switch flipped and I knew we had to do what was right. That’s a tough one. We had to cull our bull that we had for about ten years last year and it was hard too. It makes me...

Thank you so much. I didn’t realize how much I was fighting for him to live until I realized he wouldn’t. I still don’t know what made me so attached to this one calf, but I will say he taught me a lot in his few weeks!

Update: Unfortunately we had to put him down yesterday. It was definitely what was best for him but it was a lot harder than I would like to admit. I have never gotten attached to one of our cows/calves before so this was definitely a hard lesson learned. Thank you so much for all of your...

Thank you very much for the reply! We are putting a lot of extra time and effort into this guy because he just seems like he wants to live and get better so bad. I’ve never done or dealt with this before. He keeps hanging on so we feel as though we can’t give up on him yet. Would you...

Hi all! I have a six week old calf with joint ill. He was separated from the herd and given LA200 four days in a row. He was feeling and acting better. Then we stupidly let him sit too long and he became sick again. Won’t stand on his own due to pain, but will stand and drink if picked up...
