I wound up with a new calf. Some brown thing, I don't know. I think my husband picked it up for 25.00. When we got it home, it took a bottle of colostrum no problems. Next day, it was scouring a little so I got out the electrolytes. Darn thing wouldn't suck. I have seen him drink water and nose at the hay. He's a little bitty thing. Husband's gone to the feed store to see if they have a smaller nipple he'll take. He isn't congested, no fever, scours are gone for now. He's just the devil to feed. Sucks then stops. Takes forever to get half a bottle down him. And I'm not here during the day anymore to multiple feedings.
What am I missing? All kinds of fun here. I don't have much tied up in him in the way of money, but I hate to lose him. I know these things sound like a broken record. Selenium? Time?
I'll never let my spouse out of my sight again on sale day.
