You might have cancer, fasciitis, or simply a strained muscle. A doctor can help you decide.
Yes, if the mare feels the calf is a threat to her or her herd she may attack and hurt the calf. However most horses will get along OK with a newborn calf. It should be noted that the calf's mother could posse just as much if not more of a threat to the mare
No.
What calf? Is this calf this bull calf you are concerned about in other different questions, or another calf altogether? Most cases a bull won't hurt nor kill a calf that is even male or around 4 months of age.
No.
well yes more than likey.... only if you feed it TOO MUCH! but why would you feed a calf paper??;)!!
if you are spinning on your toes or with your toes pointed, the calf muscle is hurting because it is being used and is probably cramping or becoming fatigued
Now, why would you want to take away a cow's calf after one month? Calves still need their mommas until they're around 3 months of age, and the cows do get very attached to their calves even after one month, so yes it would "hurt" the cow to take away her calf after only one month, not to mention the calf as well.
This is called "weaning." When a rhino cow gives birth to her new calf, she doesn't want her older calf around to take away the milk that her new calf is in more need of than her older calf, and the older calf may hurt its new sibling out of spite. So the rhino cow has to drive the older calf away and start getting him/her to learn to live on their own.
This happens occasionally, unfortunately. Keep a very close eye on the calf and see if it has any damage like broken bones or deep bruises. Sometimes, although the mother's hoof made contact with the calf, she can pull her weight back and not hurt the calf. If there is trauma, you will need to keep the calf and mother alone until the vet can get there to see what can be done for the calf. If the injuries are severe, the best option may be to put the calf down.
Calf tables don't hurt the calf when they're being flipped over on their sides, unlike what may happen if a person grabs a calf and throws it to the ground instead of letting it gently slide to the ground. They also hold the calf in place without having to have extra hands sitting on or flexing a calf's leg or head to keep it from moving while branding, tagging, castrating and needling is done.
I usually do 400 but that makes my legs hurt
Because those are the only two options you have. Either you are standing or sitting dummy!!
