Met your cattle buyer on a cruise, huh? I met Michael Irvin on a cruise, once... Alice

I dreaded twins...yet the inevitable happened and one of our big herefords had twins. God must've smiled that day 'cause she accepted both and both were heifers. One is a little smaller than the other, but they both have thrived and are really pretty. I don't wanna go thru that again...

Perfect! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Alice

Let me throw in my kudos for the harness idea! Good thinkin'!!!! Alice

Oh Joy, he's beautiful! My fingers are crossed for him, and you! Alice

Yes on what Angie wrote. I also give a shot of vitamin A,E,&D. And, I read in an article from an Ag Ext. office to give electrolytes when you get the calf home from the sale barn. Alice

Ohhhh, I like your animals! Rock a link...? I'm lousy at this kind of thing... :( Alice

Oh my goodness! What a cutie pie! I want her! :heart: Alice

Oh Joy, I do like those babies! :heart: Alice

There's an oldtimer's trick that does seem to have some merit to it. Put the calf in a trailer and drive it down a bumpy road. In fact, drive the calf to the vet in a trailer and see if the bloat's gone down by the time you get there. Just a thought...seems like you've tried everything else...

You and your family deserve pats on the back for this one. :D Alice

So far, so good. I think that's great! Alice

Did she nurse her mother? If she did, I wouldn't worry right now... Alice

Crossing my fingers, too! Alice

The calf mopes...the calf has a hard time drinking it's bottle...the calf sounds congested...the calf drools...the calf is six weeks old and past scouring. Bottom line, if it's not pneumonia I'd bet it's a close first cousin to it. LA200 used to have a place in the calf business, but I truly...
