[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 780266, member: 6897"] Obviously you've never worked on a dairy....and NEVER raised baby calves. Doesn't matter how long nor how short his day is, it's what he does during those hours. If that is his primary job he needs to check those calves regularly and OFTEN!!! A droopy ear, a different look in the eyes, a very slight cough, a change in the manure or a little loss of appetite. You learn to look for those things and act immediately. You're looking at a day old animal with potential to be worth thousands and you treat it accordingly. Not totally unlike raising your own babies and his family is depending on him as well. [/QUOTE]
