    I agree with your comments on the weeds. It is easy for people watching to tell you that you should do this and do that. Pay them no mind. You did an amazing job of helping the new calf. Hopefully he will grow and be a strong asset to your farm. Really enjoyed the video. thanks Isaac till next time.

    Now isn't he just the cutest little thing. We had one Hereford bull calf that was tiny as well we named him Solomon. Mum didn't want to know him all. Bottle feed him for 4 months and turned out to be one of the best bulls we've had my neighbour has him now he would have sired 400 or 500 calves. Keep us posted.

    Once they find out where the table is set most of the worries are over. The cow must feel a relief as well getting some of the pressure off her udder. I think you did great. I hope the calf does well and comes to size eventually. Good video. Pax.

They were born on an organic farm but I’m just a beginning homesteader. One had scours and swollen knees. Couldn’t find penicillin for a week so his front knees got pretty bad. Not sure he’ll pull through but he’s a really cool calf that follows you around. Fingers crossed

    IMO the 50 is worthless, the 100 is acceptable but the 150 according to my vet is worth every penny. I was unaware of the 150 till this year when we were talking. I keep 3 bags of the colostrum on hand when calving. I order it because my CoOp doesn't realize there is a difference between the supplement to the replacer no matter how many times we've talked about it. They just say it's so much more expensive. I want to give them the best chance. Just my opinion.

    If people had to make life choices that you do their eyes would be opened. Let's see... spend 4 hours cutting weeds OR 4 hours keeping a tiny little calf alive. It can't be both because daylight and hours are limited things. I wonder if weeds would be so important given those real life choices? Great job once again BTW. They are a nice looking pair. Once again... tame cow for the win.

    • @FarmandHammer
      @FarmandHammer  2 роки тому +1

      I used to put an egg in every bottle for the first week with new bottle calves. Seems to keep them from scouring and just makes a healthier calf (the extra protein helps). If you want to go the all natural way, that’s about the best thing to keep them healthy besides sanitation and milk replacer quality.
