[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 365538, member: 3162"] I had a calf born last November and happened to witness the birth. The calf kept trying to get up and couldn't quite get its balance but finally hit its feet. Each time if fell it went closer and closer to the stock tank. Next thing I knew there it went right into the water with the cow still licking it clean all the way. I went into the pond and got it out and placed it in the sun 20 feet away. It got up and nursed a bit but wound up in the stock tank again. This time I picked it up and carried it all the way up the embankment to an upper pasture. Mom was ticked off about it. I got the calf hooked up to the teat and nursing and got the heck out of the way so the cow would calm down (she's 1/2 Brahma and protective). If I had not been there, the calf may have drowned or else wound up in the same condition yours did. [/QUOTE]
