Big Thanks to Denvermartinfarms

[stocky]

I lost a couple of new calves born in the sub-0 temps and 12 inches of snow a few nights ago and my neighbor lost one, also. The sales close to here are closed due to weather and I was needing 3 calves to put on these cows. Did not want to let them go without. I called Denver and he went to the sale close to him and bought 3 excellent black calves for me. It is an hour and 20 minute drive and there was no way I could get there for the 11am start and still do all my feeding. I got there for the last the last few weigh cows and Denver had the calves ready for me to pay and load. All three calves are with their new mothers in trailers and all three were sucking before dark. Thanks again for a huge favor.

Great to hear! Sorry you lost a few, that was a wicked storm! I am sure if we had not pulled our youngest in the barn we would have lost one or more!

I really like reading things like this. Much better than reading where someone is poking someone else in the chest.

It is heart warming to hear of friends helping friends and neighbors helping neighbors.
And now for some jocularity.

Sounds like SL needs to come back over here and expound on " proper winter shelter in snow country" again. :lol: :lol:

Stocky and Denver, this was a happy ending! If you guys don't mind, what do beef babies cost right now? Do you guys have a lot to pick from, or just a handful available?

Like a fart in a space suit. Why does he/she find something negative in this? Turd in the punch bowl; nothing more or less
