[QUOTE="sme.misfit.farms, post: 1847414, member: 34690"] Dang. Sorry to hear that. We’ve got four on the ground with three to go, but it was a strange year for us. One we had to pull (with some input of others and knowing she was a bottle baby, she is definitely stunted), and the other was just slow to eat at a 19° night (her dam has never giving us an inkling of poor mothering). It was a very long night, but those four are good now. Next day, one was backwards but went okay. The latest one surprised me and had it in the middle of the night and luckily went ok. Hoping our luck turned around for the next three. I always ask myself if my tenacity is being tested or if it’s a sign to stop while I’m ahead. I usually tell myself it’s a learning year, and if year two goes just as wrong then it’s a sign. I hope your next ones go much better. Picture of the stunted one that needed four days to really start mothering. This was the day after her having it. Loved it but not quite enough to clean the behind and she was very full of milk. Since she straightened up she’ll get a second go cause she’s a tough lady and does everything else right. [/QUOTE]
