First 2010 Calf

Written by Andrew on May 11th, 2010

My favourite moma cow Squiggy came through again with her fourth calf today. He seems to be a healthy bull calf who was born without any assistance (from me anyway).

After running out of patience for nature I eventually helped him stand up and before long he was enjoying his first meal.

This first drink is so important because the colostrum has all the antibodies that get the immune system of the calf off and running. Once I’ve seen this happen I’m a lot more confident that everything will work out for the best.
