[QUOTE="LizHartley1991, post: 1466079, member: 31466"] Update: Mira ate a while 2 1/2 pints of formula and was even able to drink from the calf nipple on the bottle instead of the baster (let her drink the last half just to see how she does with it. I was even able to take her out of the barn to enjoy the sunlight for an hour, though I didn’t wanna leave her out too long since she was shivering because of the cold (it’s 44 with winds that make it feel like 36). What’s good is she walked out on her own and followed me around like a lost lamb (it was cute). I lead her up to the fence to meet a few of the other cows. They were curious of her and sniffing her through the fence but she didn’t really want much to do with them. She just turned around and cane right back to standing at my side. No matter how many times I lead her to the fence. That kind of concerns me since I don’t want her to not be interested in her own kind... But she’s also little and I’m basically mama right now so of course she’d want to be near the one that feeds her. I also feel bad leaving her in the barn so much. I could leave the door open throughout the day and lock her up at night so she doesn’t get cold, I guess. But our lot is kinda all over the place and I wouldnt want her to get into something she shouldn’t or get through a loose fence or something... Ill have to try cleaning it and straightening it up better for her if I decide to try that. Might be a good idea to give her more free range. But for now she’s still doing good so fingers crossed!
