[QUOTE="Huntet02, post: 1291164, member: 21195"] thank you so much for your input Katpau Latest-- so not a full week old yet and I was ready to pull heifer calf home and bottle fed her without her mamma yest after mamma left her hidden in pasture for many hrs and calf couldn't even walk when I awakened her BUT much more to story! Since we cannot, after 3 weekends of trying, get mama loaded in trailer, after me and hubby agreeing i was just gonna grab calf put in my car and head home, however my mom chewed me out telling me that calf runs around playing every morning and i was a fool sooo i stayed the night and decided to check it out. I had decided to pull her home after spending many hrs sitting 5ft away watching baby nurse, she goes from teat to teat, not getting much of anything, her flanks are sunken, no visible milk residue on cows teats, nor calfs mouth AND cows bag looks like nothing much is really there--all that said i however do digress and believe 1 teat MUST be giving her a tiny amount after seeing quite a show this am. At 7:30 i watched calf head butting other calf whose 3mos older, running like the wind back and forth zipping around: i was thrilled! Yes im probably a complete idiot but again our first calf (born to us) so we know little on how things are supposed' to work BUT if a calf was starving i don't think it could be running like this right? :shock: I know many ranchers would laugh at us carrying on so much for 1 little baby but this heifer is worth a lot of $ and 4H shows for us... here's last nights pics [url=http://s130.photobucket.com/user/Huntet02/media/IMG_20151114_1657211%202.jpg.html][img]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p276/Huntet02/IMG_20151114_1657211%202.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
