Driftless SW Wisconsin

Thank you, however I am not sure just how well the calf is doing. He has one front foot that keeps folding back as you can see in the picture above. He doesn't seem to be able to stand up for long. He needs to stand up to suck, obviously. I like to leave them alone, and he may have when I was not watching but I have not seen him suck yet.

I understand this bent leg can go away in a day or two but will leave them both in the corral until I see him standing up and sucking or get other advice from my vet in the morning.

The other calves even at a couple days old are already running around the pasture.  Weather report looks good for tomorrow. Hope to have a couple more cows calve soon.
