Peeling noses are common from frostbite.
Think she will make milk?

Poor his nose!
Thanks guys. The cold weather explains that. Took a few days. His ears seem fine.
He's just had a really rough go of things I reckon.

The calf I have his nose peeling for a few days then I went out one morning and it looked perfectly fine! I had a premium calf that would have seizures until I gave him 3 rounds of Selenium over a week's time and he was fine after that.
Frostbite on his nose. Watch his ears, they may be next.

I had him sold twice on there. Well, I should say, I had 2 definite maybes and a 3rd asking...Craigslist bottle calf
I told them I was on the fence about selling him anyway.
Wife had taken a shine to him, so I backed out.
Now she's lost the romance....
Figure I can buy 2 and put on feed for what I sell him for

Best laid plans of mice and men....
Bessie came up for dinner, and lil Toodles went to town. He just can't get anything out of there, tho he tries so hard!
He took a full bottle after his feeble attempt at Bessie.
Plan was to sell him tomorrow! Well, farting around with Bessie and his nose fell off!!!!!
Toodles the red-nosed steer calf....
Can't sell him like that. He won't bring half what he should. Lil turd gets a couple more weeks of bottles I guess while his nose heals. Jeez

Oh, bless his heart. But it'll heal. T.J. made a full recovery. This was a couple weeks ago and now can't even tell now.

Alright guys n gals!
Neighbor brought me a lil twin heifer born with a bull. (Most likely a freemartin) Mama took right to the bull but doesn't seem interested in the second one. He ain't got time to fool with em. So here we are. She's DEFINITELY less than 50lbs. More like 40lbs tops!!
He got half a bottle of colostrum in her last night when she was born. Another pint this morning. About as good as could be expected for a calf this size I reckon. I couldn't believe the horrid condition of the nipple for his bottle, but anyway... it worked.
So here we are! Lots of pictures!!
Have a tug on 'Ol Bessie kiddo!
Told ya she was tiny! She's seems very thrifty tho!
This is my favorite part about this ol gal!! Already licking and mooing and encouraging her to nurse!
I'm seriously gonna cry if/when this cow has to leave.
O yeah... everyone HAD to come see Bessie's new baby!! I think Bessie is the single most respected cow in this Herd.

I've buried 2 that were good old cows and took whatever calf I gave them... They deserved to die in peace on the farm. And one of them went 18 months between her last 2 calvings... at about 14 yrs of age.

Oh, that heifer is adorable! And Bessie is worth her weight in gold! My Cricket was that way. She loved babies, and would nurse and mother any little orphan I gave her. I wish she could have lived the rest of her life here in peace, but sometimes it doesn't work out the way we want. I sincerely hope (and I REALLY mean that) that Bessie lives to be 30 and stays with you the whole time. She's definitely a gem.

Lil Fart can't keep up!
I kept her and Bessie penned together all night without Ford and Val. Her lil tummy is full, so I stuck her in the trailer for now and let the 2 big ol calves in.
In a hurry to get to her feed this morning, Bessie just plowed right over the new one! Good grief!
I'm gonna keep lil enough seperate for a while and bring Bessie up twice a day like normal and let baby eat.
More pics later! I want a couple pics with lil enough and the other 2. She's like 1/3 their size!
