[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1733403, member: 39373"] Well! Val nursed Bessie down pretty good today and she's got lil yeller poopy butt, so went ahead. And yes. Bessie was leaking a bit. 😆 Turned him loose with her! After much knee nursing (mine and Bessies) he found the wrong end. Even after I pointed him right where he belongs repeatedly....[ATTACH type="full" alt="20220215_175148.jpg"]13326[/ATTACH] The biggest surprise tonight! Bessie kicked at him! 😠 Shes never so much as raised a leg b4. I suspect she may be a bit antsy about her calf still. Seems pretty protective. Only been 24hrs roughly. And the fact I'm in there fooling around with a new baby too. She just seemed stirred up. Harrison seemed real cautious about getting close to his new mama too. Guess she seems intimidating, idk. Turns out, Bessie just wanted to get a good sniff and lick him a bit! So here's a terrible couple pic's in the dark with a flashlight.... Harrison is nursing. Val is to the left. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220215_195600.jpg"]13327[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20220215_195824.jpg"]13328[/ATTACH] His lil tail was going like hell. Successful evening. All is well in my lil world. Edited to add.. Twin heifer calf sold for 250 today. I made up my mind last year I'm buying better quality calves for Bessie this time. So no twin calves. No freemartin heifers. On the hunt for another black bull calf. [/QUOTE]
