[QUOTE="jcissell, post: 62872, member: 383"] Well I learned my lesson on that one today. It was up walking around following its momma so I thought it would be fine. I went down there this morning to find it in the deepest mudhole we have nowhere near any cows. I thought it was dead but when I walked up on it I could see it breathing. I brought it home, warmed it up, gave it a bath to get all the mud off and get it completely warm. It quit shaking but still acted like it was dead. I didn't have any colostrum so I called everywhere looking for some. Ended up having to drive an hour to a tractor supply store. Got the calf eating and it finally stood up on it's own and started bawling for its momma. I put her back out with its mom and she took it. Now I am going to go back every hour to make sure its ok. If not I guess I will be bottle feeding this one until I can get her mom in the head chute. Any tips for this situation? I've never done this before. Josh [/QUOTE]
