[QUOTE="FlowerFieldFarm, post: 817257, member: 16324"] Sorry - I didn't really think all of those details were relevant... He was a big calf and the tendons on his back legs were a little contracted. He chilled very quickly because he hadn't yet nursed by 11:00 - even with help he wasn't strong enough. So we put her in the stanchion, got some colostrum, and brought him in about two. I fed him a little bit every hour until midnight, then slept til six. By then he was up and bawling. Got him suck good in the house, let him out to here and he sucked her dry. This is not my first rodeo or my first calving, but I've never had a heifer with a dry quarter right off the bat. Thanks [/QUOTE]
