[QUOTE="Bez, post: 105560, member: 412"] Lancemart: As I have written before - calves have been born on this earth for as long as we have been eating wild cows, wearing skins and hunting meat with sticks and stones. When the calves hit the ground they lay there for a few minutes while Mom gets rested up for the big "lick off". Some folks do all sots of things to their animals: penicillin shot, iodine the navel, selenium shot, vitamin shot, and a whole bunch more. I often wonder how the old timers did it before we started inventing drugs, vitamins and other money saving devices such as sacks of high protein feed. I am sure that will be your next set of questions. :lol: In the end the calf will get up and suck on Moms tits. Mom will keep licking the calf and make "cow love" sounds. You can tag this animal immediately, you can shoot it with whatever drugs annd vitamins you want and you can take the chance Mom will roll you in the dirt if you get too close too soon. There is very little you can do to hurt this young animal and there is very little it needs on an immediate basis - other than a big cow to love it and feed it. There are those who will tell you to spend all sorts of money on all sorts of wonder drugs and such - just do nothing and let it get up and suck. Stand back and enjoy. Your questions are actually what we call around here "grinners". Relax - all will unfold as it should. Bez [/QUOTE]
