wimpy calf

[farmguy]

Yesterday morning had a new calf. It did not look quite right. Laying kinda funny but alert so I tagged it. Went on to another new calf but thought maybe I should try to get wimpy calf up. So I went back and tried to get it on it's feet. All four legs were down an almost vertical hole, probably a badger after a gopher. He started walking after mom but a little shaky. This morning Mr. Wimpy fine. That's what grand kids are calling him. Just a new experience for me. farmguy

Easy to tag um when they are stuck.
A big healthy 2 day old calf can be a challenge.

Glad Mr Wimpy is okay but I'm still trying to figure out how you didn't notice his legs were stuck down a hole when you tagged. Maybe I'm overzealous, but I check to determine bull/heifer and everything's all right before I tag.

I Would rather know how the calf managed to get all four legs in a hole?
