[QUOTE="darcelina4, post: 1806154, member: 27059"] so lets clarify a bit here. That calf looks like he doesn't feel well so the nuflor should help. I would give him banamine too to help him feel better. As for underbites, Jerseys almost always look like that have an underbite at birth. That is their normal. As for fixing an underbite in a foal with vitamins, not a chance that will work. I have raised horses for 50 years and the ones that had an underbite or over bite had it due to genetics and vitamins/minerals. are not fixing that. Also a three week old calf might be tasting grass but the rumen is not developed enough for him to be processing grass. If he were being fed grain, the rumen would develop faster. I would be feeding him more at each feeding but only feed him milk twice a day, Feed 2 to 3 quarts at each feeding and feed 12 hours apart. I have raised loads of bottle calves and many different breeds. [/QUOTE]
