[QUOTE="RICHARDL, post: 769918, member: 4359"] Ok my last heifer calfed sunday morning It seemed a little rough on her i was able to pull it as she seemed to be struggling, She stayed down for about an hour. In the mean time the lil bull calf was alive and well except that his momma wouldn't nurse him because she was still down. I waited for about 30 min. and got him up and fed him with a bottle. when she did get up she went to the far side of the field and stayed there for a couple of hours. I went out and fed him again. Got him up and he walked around. Well when he balled she came running but wouldn't nurse him no matter how much he tried she would not let him. so 2 hours later i'm back feeding him. Put him in the barn last night as we were getting rain. got up early this morning open doors and there he is balling. he got up followed me to the fence line so he would be in the shade. She came running but would not nurse him and ended up knocking him down so i got 1/2 a bottle down him. than he followed her to the middle of the field. I got dressed came to work. i'm planning on going at lunch to feed and check on him. am i doing right? any suggestions. I think this afternoon i'll corral them both so at least i know where to find him and he'll be in the shade till i can feed him morning noon & night. Will this work? he's angus by the way. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
