[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1827990, member: 968"] Niece came out with me to feed bucket to weaned heifers and to check fall pairs. Uggh - saw a calf head hanging out of the round bale feeder. Born in September. Dead. Appears he climbed up into the feeder and I had just fed a bale night before. Looks like a lot of the outside layers slid off and buried him enough he couldn't get out. Niece helped me get a chain around him and haul him out (after I removed the main bale and we pulled layers off of him.) New experience for niece!!! She was a trooper. We only had 3 steers for our freezer beef - now only TWO. Going to have some unhappy customers next year. Our January newborns will get into the feeders because Mom is hanging out around them and weather is nasty. But, as soon as they find the sheds, they never get back into them. All these fall calves have found the shed. Never had bad enough weather for them to ever get into the feeders. That's our life on the farm. Always something to scratch our head and ask WHY? [/QUOTE]
