I think she was practicing to be a speed cop. But we don;t have any billboards in the backyard for her to hide behind.

A studded collar would add to the effect.

Reminds me of one we had a few years ago. Mama grew wheels because she didn't have milk. Calf would be waiting at the back door when we got up in the morning.

Make a little sisal halter for her dun. Makes it easier to do everything, especially later.

No "especially later" at this place. She'll be heading down the road in another week at most.

That would make her look a little too butch. Even though she's a freemartin (probably)

Awwww, too cute. What happened to her mom?

 

[dun]

Twins. They slipped under the fence and rolled down a hill and spent around 3-4 hours in 19 degrees without being cleaned up or fed. The bull is still with the cow. This one was frozen so stiff we brought her in and now the cow isn;t particularly interested in her. Besides, she doesn;t know how to suck a cow. She sucks a bottle, but has never caught on to the fact that there is milk under a cow.

She's hiding in order to ambush you. :lol:
She's a cute one. I guess her hooves are okay so far?

Yup she is. So far she's unaware that there may be a problem.

That's a cute little thing, dun.

The posts title made me laugh, as I remembered an incident about five days ago.

One of my cows calved a couple weeks early (lightweight, fine haired calf) but the little guy has a will to survive. Anyway, seems like he's a real 'hard luck Charlie', as he's been in and out of the basement laying by the woodstove several times now (chilled, scours, etc.). Last time I brought him in he was chilling down again and had an infected navel. Got a belly full of milk into him and he was full of pee n vinegar. Really full of it, as when Honey gave him a shot of Nuflor for his navel, the little bugger started pawing the ground and shaking his head at him.

We roared with laughter as this little 'Ferdinand' of a calf tried to buffalo us with his 'Bodacious' act. Ninety pounds of fury, alrighty.... might have been scary if he was a ninety pound squirrel, but hilarious all the same.

Take care.

Annie you amaze me. As crappy as things are for you all and you still have a sense of humor. I bet the glass is alwasy at least half full isn't it? Even when there isn;t a drop in it.

There's plenty of things in life worth shedding tears over dun, so I figure it's best to laugh while you can because one of those heartbreaking days might be just around the corner.

What the heck, you can't live forever and personally I'd rather die laughing anyway! ;-)

Take care.
