[QUOTE="ValNFla, post: 205360, member: 3766"] I saw it referred to as dumb cow and weak cow on the internet. Fader is actually the name of the farmer or the scienctist involved, I cannot recall right now. When I saw it sadi they couldn't stand up I was like this can't be...So I could only assume someone nursed it until it could get up, leading me to think that it missed the colostrum. Can they survive that? Of all the books I bought when I started my venture, I didn't get a cow book because at the time I wasn't going to go into cows but things have changed. I am trying to become more self reliant and show my husband the animals can pay for their own feed bills and feed us. The chickens and turkeys give us plenty of eggs, so do the ducks which I can hacth them and sell at auction and could make the bills. I just got my hog a mate and decided to grow my own pork so to speak. LOL I have to wait 6 months since she is 6 months old. My next step will be a few heifers and a bull. I am going to research some breeds but Dexters are pretty and are multipurpose. The calf will be a pet if we take it on. [/QUOTE]
