    It was still a rescue mission. Got to save the mama. She’ll live to have more in the future. You did the best you could have done.

    Losing a baby calf hurts. Been there, done that. It’s good you have your health and support for each other. Our two sons lost their lives, and that took the heart out of farming. God was there, in our lowest times. Keep praying

    When I was young my grandpa had a cow in labor and a bad storm was coming so he had my brothers and sister help look for her. He was so worried about that cow. We found her the next day in a swollen creek with the calf half out of her but she had drowned and the calf was dead too. Man I will never ever forget that horrible scene and my grandpa crying.

    Definitely heartbreaking. My daughter and son-in-law lost 2 newborn calves during that horrible artic storm. One died right after birth. The other one lived for 2 days. He couldn't stand to nurse because both hind legs were turned a little at the hooves. They tube feed him in the house by the fireplace to keep him warm until the vet's office opened. The vet gave him 5 different meds and he was looking better. They made him brace supports for both hind legs so he could stand. They tried to get him up to nurse and he passed away. It was a very sad time for all of the family. To make it worse both mamas were calling and crying for their dead babies. They didn't understand the calves passed away and were trying to find their babies. Man, it's hard to even talk about it.

    I grew up on a family farm and, every time there was stock loss, it would really bother me. That's when my Grandpap John would always say 'we tried our best but when the going gets tough, the tough get going...buck it up lad because life goes on.' Hats off to both of you for doing what you could do with a tough situation! Stay safe - be well.

    I'm very sorry for your loss, truly. It's so obvious that y'all care for the animals in your care, over and above what they mean in $.
    You do everything you can to keep them healthy and happy, and it shows.
    Mental health of farmers and ranchers is sadly something not taken in the concern it needs to be. I'm proud of y'all for saying that things touch you emotionally, and that it takes time...

    It really sucks when you lose a calf, cow, bull, especially a dog. But these things happen and you tried your best. Sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. It usually takes us a day or two to get over the loss as animals are living creatures and we care for them. Sorry for your loss.

    Y’all be Safe and take care of one another. I’m a new subscriber and I don’t know your names. I have been watching your vids for about a week now.
    I’m glad you stayed home with your dad. I did see you wanted to go somewhere on spring break. It would have Not Be Worth It. You needed to stay home and your dad needed you to stay home. It would have been a heavy strain on both of you.
    I will pray for both of you and for any other ppl there that I haven’t seen, yet.

    It is good to explain this to people who don't know the sorrow farmers go through. So many people think it is easy. You breed the cow and it has a baby and that is all there is too it. But sometimes it will go bad and people know that there are losses in life and you are explaining the pain you have seeing the baby die and trying to help momma deal with it also. Best of life to you.

    Angus cows are pretty smart. We had one cow drop a calf in a timber pasture. The the cow placed the calf in a burnt out area (all black ash) and it was very hard to find the calf. We considered Angus cows with a calf was always more of a danger than angus bulls.

    Sorry for your loss. My only experience of hard births was a foal that was stuck. It had a Blue tongue, but as soon as we pulled her out she was Lively and kneighed. Next thing was to rescue The excausted mare. We always gives The foals Milk in a bottle so they get up on their feet quicker. The Umbilical cord shall transfer The plasma for at least 5-10 min. On humans they CUT it and Steals The blood wich gives The baby strength and a start of The Immunesystem. Thanks for sharing.

    I feel ya my friend. I watch your vids in between my night checks. The other day I pulled two still born calves within 6 hours of each other. Plus we’re dealing with something in our calves that we’re not quite sure of. They seem like they’re sick when they’re born and they die hours later. I’ve had that happen to about 6 calves. Right now I’m sitting at around a 8% death loss. You’re not alone brotha! Praying for you and your family.

    If the hair is starting to slip it usually means the calf has been dead for over 24hrs.
    When you see cleanings before a water bag it's an emergency. The calf has started to detach from the buttons (codaleadens) wich supplies oxygen.
    Always sucks loosing a calf.
    Keep up the good work fellas and thank you for the videos. You educate lots of people about this important industry.
