Today it is 23 degrees, muddy and snowy, with a west wind gusting near 30 mph. One of the first calf heifers dropped a calf at daybreak. It was chilled and nearly stiff with a cold nose by the time I found it. The girls and I took it in the kitchen and brushed it with a wire dog brush, dried it with a hair dryer. It revived and we gave it a quart of lamb milk replacer, the heifer was to upset to milk in the cold. When it seemed warm and alert we put it in a drafty stall with the heifer who has claimed it very well.
What have I done wrong? I am now going to bed for I worked third shift last night. Thanks
