I didn't get so lucky. At least not with a calf. There was an old cow that got bred way out of time somehow and calved last Sunday morning when it was 5 degrees. She had it right out in the field by the round bale feeder. I got the calf in the barn and she followed it of course. I mixed up some powdered colostrum and it sucked the bottle OK. Monday morning it was on it's feet and standing right in among the rest of the cows. It took the bottle again alright. Later in the afternoon it was acting like it was freezing to death. I got it in the loader bucket and was gonna bring it in the backroom of the house and warm it up.
The little bugger stood up in the bucket and acted normal then. The cow followed right along,so I put them in the pen where the heifer that calved in the feedlot the day after Thanksgiving was with her calf. He'd been sucking the bottle all week,but wasn't standing or walking too good. This morning,he was all sprawled out and wouldn't lay upright. He's gone now. The old cow was on her last time around,so she's going in the feedlot to put on some weight,then she's out of here.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
