Thanks for the congrats :)
I know boss usually has a waiting list for bull calves, and asked if he'd sell this guy for me. :lol: I don't really want him, and I just brought 311 home AND four more calves (all angus/holstein cross) -- so he needs to go.
On the other hand, he finally nursed. I'd been milking the cow and bottle feeding the calf as he didn't seem intelligent enough or motivated enough to figure it out on his own. I gave him half a bottle of colostrum this afternoon and then left him...get a little food in their bellies and they'll often go looking for more. Yep! Also took 162 to the dairy for a brief spell, just to get her milked out. Had to borrow the four wheeler to lead her down and back - her ground manners leave much to be desired and I didn't dare lead her on foot. LOL.
