Loving the herd life
Hi all.
After talking with the vet re-our calf with the bad back leg she mentioned that if his forehead was also round he likely had a genetic defect. We only talked on the phone, she was already pretty certain that a calf born 6 weeks early and with a bad back leg was not going to survive. I have to admit-newbie calf owner that I am-I thought his round shaped head(and incredible small size) were just because he was early.
I'll upload a photo or two of the lil guy & would appreciate any thoughts either way-confirming or denying any defect.
