    Lots of questions ... i hope that’s okay? I see the calf is close to mama ... does she not fight to feed her calf? Do you ever let them together? And past the first 3 days how much do you give the calf every day and for how long? Thank you 🐮

    Watching that little lad feed the calf made my day start with a big smile. People don't understand a field shed is not only unnecessary but will become a collecting area for manure instead of dispersing it over the pasture and ultimately a breeding ground for disease and parasites.

    Every boy should grow up spending time out in the barn feeding and carrying for animals, one of my favorite memories growing up, something about doing it when it was cold , still remember the smell of the hay and the barn. Great video!!! Thanks Brother!!!

    Could you just let the calf have at the cow for the first three or four days then start milking her or do you separate the calf immediately after birth?

    • @McGieHomesteadAdventures
      @McGieHomesteadAdventures  2 роки тому +1

      You can do that….. usually you should still make sure the bag is fully milked out after the first day…. Otherwise you’ll have a huge mastitis problem

    Calf can't do those steps naturally? Other words if cow had calf and no one was around for a few weeks what is likely hood of things going right ? We had milk cow but not one with calf

      No it’s very possible that all will go fine without interference..... but it’s our only milk cow and we don’t take chances

    Good morning Micah !
    Caleb's (?) Is doing a great job being a surrogate mother.
    Is there a reason you don't hobble Blossom's back legs with rope to train her not to kick ? Just curious.
    That kitten is crawling under Joel's legs hoping for a stray squirt of milk, or hoping for that bucket to tip over. Lol
    Stay happy, healthy, hydrated, safe and warm.
    May God continue to bless you and your family..

    • @McGieHomesteadAdventures
      @McGieHomesteadAdventures  3 роки тому +1

      We don’t like to hobble them unless they are really bad ..... only one cow we ever owned had to be hobbled. Caleb loves his new job!
