getting small underweight calf back where she needs to be

[WildRoseBeef]

Cricket, the dead give-away for me to come to the assumption that she's got Jersey and not Holstein in her is her dished face. Holsteins don't have dished faces like Jerseys do. The dark hooves, pigment around the eyes and a little on the nose also tells me she's got a bit of Jersey in the wood pile. And she is a bit leggy too, though I think the funnel butt on her makes her look all legs than anything.

I think her petite legs and feet and small size are a Jersey trait, plus she's just not big enough to be a Holstein (or other large breed) cross. I'm thinking she's not even that old, because of her small size, but it's hard to tell without having anything in the pics to really compare to.

I can get a pic of her next to my 3 month old bottle calf but they are the only 2 in the pen right now. Maybe I can get DH to take a pic of me and her together if shell let me close enough and be still lol.
