    I think they are, seem to hold more fluid in their lungs in my experience.
    Always heard a rattle in the lungs of sectioned calves for a day or so after their birth.

    He gave 10ml instead of 6ml. It would be risky IMO.

    Did you do the work yourself or get a garage/mechanic at it?

    Only reason i ask is if id have given 2k and there was that much of a difference in the handbrake it wouldn't be the testers i was after..... A hand brake is easy enough to test no matter what your driving, loose gravel pull it sharp while going straight(dip clutch obviously) and by the tears on the loose gravel you'll no immediately if there's any sort of imbalance as 1 will pull before the other...
