Note that the black and white calf at the beginning of this movie is a normal untreated control calf. Blue 8 (Ayrshire calf) is showing a stretched posture with the occasional ease quarters and tail wag.  The next two calves are showing statue standing, one (Ayrshire) constantly easing his left hind leg and the Jersey showing trembling of the hind quarters.
