[QUOTE="M.Magis, post: 1722419, member: 14175"] Appreciate all the thoughts. Its a mud hole here now so I have time to figure it out. Unfortunately my chute is somewhere else or that was the first thing I was going to try. Good idea on the twin possibility. The idea crossed my mind when she was trying to get out of the barn, but I completely forgot as we were trying to get the calf on the 4 wheeler and didn’t think about it again until you mentioned it. I was also wrong thinking she had cleaned the calf, what I thought was mud was just dried mucus and such. Calf is all crusty but at least its dry with a full belly. Doesn’t have near the pep it had this morning, but it drank another half quart of colostrum replacement. Looks a lot more full than it did when we found it, hopefully we can keep it alive. As much as I hate having another bottle calf, I hate dead calves more. And my 11 year old is pretty excited to raise it for his 4H calf, probably more excited than he should be at this point. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
