A "June calving" cow came in this morning with a really small red neck calf. It is laying downwind of Mom and on top of some bedding right now. I plan to weigh it tonight. Any tips on special care ?
 
Make sure it eats, poops and pees, that's all. It's up to the cow and calf.
 
Keeping him out of the wind and wet will help the most. As long as its tall enough to drink the cow will do the rest.. Shes already blocking the wind.
