Stiff swollen joints on a young calf is usually navel ill. Caused by bacteria getting in at the navel cord opening and they can get this even if they have had their colostrum. That's why you should disinfect the navel cord at birth.

But yes I agree any calf that has not had colostrum in the first 24 hours is 99% dead. That's why you keep some frozen colostrum and replace every 4-6 months for new to the farm antibodies produced by mother cows.
