[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1845663, member: 24816"] Yesterday evening a heifer was close to calving and decided to claim a another calf about 4 days old. Didn’t realize at the time that had happened so when went back to check her in a little later, found her with the older calf and afterbirth coming out. Drove around the field in the SxS and spotlight trying to find her actual calf. Found it finally in the last area we looked. Took it to the barn and gave it a bottle of colostrum. By this morning the other heifer had whooped the real mother who is smaller away from her calf. Got the real mother in the barn lot and proceeded to try to drive the cow claiming the calf and calf to the barn. Wasn’t working to good until a tree in the fence line provided a distraction and helped me corner the calf. Got it in the SxS and fought to hold it the rest of the way. Right pair reunited and hopefully by this evening can get the other heifer up and with her real calf. [/QUOTE]
