[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1840395, member: 40587"] So yesterday, Scott opened the gate and let all 3 cows and all 6 calves in together. He said that yeah, the G-H is just like the other 2. The 3 orphan calves all got a drink from the G-H yesterday a time or 2, and this morning. Neither Gail's own calf or Whitey's own tried to nurse the G-H. ( Wonder why, [USER=25884]@farmerjan[/USER] , [USER=39373]@MurraysMutts[/USER] ?) Or at least not when Scot was observing. Good news, is, he called his brother and said looks like the G-H will be a nurse cow, so he could bring that twin down here...that he or I neither one could come get it this weekend. But even better news, is his brother is going to come get the GH and her calf, and take them back to his place. And he will do all the vaccs and other vetting they might need, wean the calf for us, etc. And he will AI her in April to whatever bull we want. That is great news to me...we don't have to fool with them! Scott and Zeke took the the gilt and barrow to the processor today, and picked up the liver from the steer we hauled last week. Gonna let the steer hang a little more before they cut it up. Scott said the meat was very, very lean....that the man said he might have to add fat when he grinds it.
