    GET A KICK BAR FOR THE MAMA COW. Doesn't hurt her, just prevents her from kicking you. You can put the mama in the milk stand with the kick bar on and put the baby on her so she can get enough to drink.

    I am very glad you guys went back out and checked on the baby calf because like you said, it is very important that they get that colostrum in your system early!! Time is mamas are just skittish and don’t want to stand still for the cabin sometimes like this gas was just weak from the delivery it seemed like it was a long process for both of them and she was worn out I think so her legs couldn’t be found under her, so why are you guys going out and giving her the colostrum that she needed gave her that extra boost whether it was in a bottle or from mommy. Once she got that in her system then she had the energy to start eating for mommy and they will settle down to do the job that needed to be done!! She REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL CALF😊♥️♥️♥️♥️

    A good way to see if a calf is nursing when you suspect they are, is through the bottle you were using. They won’t take a bottle nipple if they’ve gotten milk from the cow, they also won’t suck on your finger if they’ve gotten milk from the cow. And another thing to note is, like newborn babies, newborn calves sleep A LOT! And hoe much they sleep depends entirely on their personality and how ambitious they are

  • @MeridythHardy
    @MeridythHardy 2 роки тому

    Hey, I've only seen a few of your videos but I thought I'd just leave a couple tips (you may or may not already know) on this one. I've been working on dairy farms for the last 3 years and have seen and assisted with a ton of calvings. One thing we always try to do is use some of the iodine teat dip and cover the navel/umbilical cord on newborn calves- this is to help dry up and sanitize the umbilical cord as it is essentially a corridor for bacteria to enter the calf and cause a disease known as joint ill. It probably wouldn't be as much of a concern in a set up like yours with only a few cattle and clean bedding but it's still the best practice.
    Another thing is your completely right- it is crucial that a calf gets colostrum in the first few hours of life, ideally 4L in the first 6 hours. The ability for passive transfer of Ig (immunoglobulins/antibodies) from the colostrum to the calf decreases rapidly after the first 6hours of life. One thing I always like to have on hand is powdered colostrum in case the calf doesn't nurse or you can't get enough colostrum for a full bottle out of mom. It also might be handy to have a stomach tube around- we use it on calves that won't drink (and may otherwise die without intervention).
    Anyways I just thought this might be useful information for you guys in the future. Congrats on your new calf!

    Looks like she was getting plenty to eat from mom all along. She never appeared gantt anyway. That's what my rancher hubby calls it when a calf is not eating and his/her belly is sunken in. Your little one didn't appear bloated or gantt but just right which is also probably why she was sleeping so much. She was content. Looks like you guys are doing an awesome job and enjoying your best life. I bet the kiddos really love growing up in the farm life. They are definitely learning a lot of good information about animals.

    The little calf having trouble may warrant a vet visit, some things we see with slow calves is head trauma from birthing or potential injury in the head and neck that can last for a few days after birth. In most cases we have a vet come out and give a steroid injection for the swelling or potential swelling in the brain, and a vitamin/metabolic starter injection to fortify the calf and stimulate it to continue to try and feed. Another thing to check for is incomplete palette where the roof of the mouth doesn't fully close off, causing latching and feeding problems. signs of this would be milk discharge from the nose, or head shaking and a lot of huffing or snorting from the calf. Its important when feeding a slow calf to never squeeze of force milk into them as they may aspirate the milk into the lungs. Best of luck I do hope she continues to make gains!
