[QUOTE="pauline, post: 501350, member: 7770"] The hot wire was not very hot. We had the wire high enough so that babies can come and go if they know that they can come back. It was rainy and wintry, but not very cold here in Southern Oregon. The one thing that stood out to me was that he was outside of the hot wire where the mother could not go to him. Who knows how long he had been laying on the ground wailing to get mother in the dark. And he was too young (2 days old) to know that he had got to go back to where he came from across the wire. Can calves die of shock, not shock from hot wire, but shock, being too scared, too frightened?? I saw on TV a man tried to catch a deer to fix his wound on his antler, and he told the viewers that it was risky because when being frightened, deer can stop their heart and die of shock. After being caught, the deer just fell to the ground died right before our eyes. Does that also happen to frightened young calf babies? We were grabbing him and hauling him to his mother, that probably had worsened the situation. Thanks Pauline [/QUOTE]
