[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8975"] Just yesterday I lost my favorite heifer. She gave birth to a bull calf and from what I can tell she bled to death. I arrived on the scene just moments after and my heifer already was dead. She was a beautiful "tiger stripe". The calf is alive and the vet gave it some colostrum (spelling??) and some shots. My concern is if the calf will live. I have all my cows penned in our coral area, which is abount one acre. I am hoping that another momma cow might adopt this little calf. I have purchased some milk replacer and feed the calf this morning and will try and feed the calf twice a day. Has anyone been in this situation before? Share your story. I just want to make sure that this calf lives. My ranch is about 80 miles away from my home and I have a car-taker that watches thr property during the week and my wife and I are there on weekends. I hope that the other mommas will let it nurse but I just don't know. I guess I should look for the support group borad.
