sorry to interupt everyones super bowl, but at around 5 tonight we had our first calve! :clap: I didnt get to see the birth like I planned, but it must have happened pretty quick, I did get too see the first steps and then the heifer didnt know what to do and I didnt know what to do so we had to call the voag teacher from the high school (great guy, also ai'd the heifers). the heifer keeped throwing the calve around when it stood up and came to her too nurse. so he suggested haltering the heifer and helping the first time too nurse. he said, its just being a heifer, so it did get so milk nursed for ten minutes or soo.
This brings up an idea for a subject or topic. after the birth what are the scenerios of heifers and calves after the birth and what are you suppose to do?
sorry for babbiling, my mind is going a mile a minute, just worried she didnt get enough too eat? and she the heifer didnt act like i thought she would!!!
