Found this guy last week . Mom wasn't mothering him up very much and left him on one side of the pasture and she was across the 40 and in the neighbors pasture that joins us . We use that pasture and it's about 15 acres . Couldn't get her to go to him so I had the bright idea of putting him in the back seat floorboard of the Polaris. I couldn't pick him up ! He has to be over 90lbs and folded in the middle when I tried to pick him up . I finally got his front end and then his back end in the floorboard. She didn't act to concerned when I dropped him over near her . He tried nursing , first the right end and then the front end . Wasn't sure he ever nursed . Next morning I got them up and milked her; about a half gallon . Offered him a bottle but never got him to take it . But he nursed when I let them out . Haven't seen him nurse yesterday but he was up and going today and her bag was definitely smaller . Looks older than 5 days .
