Back in baby calf business. You do such a good job of raising them. Enjoy your videos.

Glad to see you little fuzzy helper is there to help and supervise your work. And he adds a bit of extra entertainment! We always when it came to grain went with sweet feed they seemed to take to it better and it added a little extra to their weight .

Organic farm treatment for scours- 1 complete egg, shell an all before feeding milk for 2 feedings or 1/4 cup unflavoured yogurt for 2 feedings. It does work and it's cheaper than scour meds.

I’ve heard of that treatment before but I have yet to try it out!

I've added eggs to my milk replacer as well. Really helps calves with scours out, especially if you're treating them with antibiotics because it all just does fly out of them.

Pepto bismal works great too, Eggs is a great way as well just gotta be careful how many eggs you add you could bung em up given em to many eggs. Lol

That cat is the cutest! Lol nice new calves.

Nice to c u bk doing bottle calves again.For people that have never raised them it's an itch that never seems to go away lol best to you

Your hands are full yet again!! Congrats on the new babies!! And of course the kitty!! Peace from SW Florida 😇!!!

Very sweet babies, that cat was all into helping you out any chance it could. Wild one has a cute little white mark on her

I had a wild calf like that once, it was 2 days old when it escaped and ran a good quarter mile up the road before I caught him. He then refused to walk back so I carried him, I slept like a baby that night lol

Just to much cuteness ! I just love those little babies! ! Kittys happy to!

Your orange tabby is the welcoming committee!

Nice to see the twisted wire ties . . . when you're on a farm there is no need to be fancy, whatever works. Cheers.

love them baby calves. very cute!! the cat also!! enjoy the growth process.

Good looking calfs. Can't wait to see how this year's group turns out for you!! Keep up the great work.

Love your channel man. Content is fantastic. And that cat is hilarious lol

Merry Christmas from Rocky Knob Farm West Virginia

Congrats on the 3 new bottle Calves. That biggest calf on the end is going to be a challenge to keep it in the stall.

Great content ❤🤠

The cat is right in there

Beautiful calf’s/how many do you plan on raising this year? I wish I could help 😂 I’m looking forward to your updates!

Curiosity Killed the Cat!

Love the calves!! But that sweet orange cat!! OMGOODNESS he's ridiculously sweet!!!

Precious little bovines!

Look at all the green grass!

Look at the cat 2:50

Can you put a little molasses on the grain to get them going? Are you going to castrate the bull calves? I like how caring you are with your heifers and cow’s. I subscribed and follow you on Instagram. I was raised on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania I love cows, horses and dogs.

The cat just has to be in every part of the video

The cat steals the spotlight😂😂😂😂

beatiful,love them hugs

This is my first time watching you thank you for the videos just wondering why you do bottle babies if your breeding your heifers don't they do the job. Do you have to put them in small pens at the beginning to get them tame and teach them how to bottle feed. Your cat is cracking me up

Good luck with your new calves!! Just wondering where you are located you don’t have much snow??

I have to ask, where are you from in Missouri? I live just north of Bolivar.

Would love to ask you about new baby calves with scours. I have gotten a few and have tried some many different things but still end up losing a few. What do you do or advise?

Are you using Sweet feed?

What is the best way to get in touch with you. Have you tried Get-Go FM, ideal for adding to colostrum. I'd like to get some to you.

Just curious, but why start them out in such small pens? Good lookin calves btw.

I like the smaller ones because I can monitor their health much easier. I can see what their manure looks like every day to see which calf is healthy. Also, we have noticed that giving the calves more space than that causes them to waste more bedding. I do like group pens but I need enough calves to make a group. But each pen is about 5x5 or 5x6.

I just came across your videos. I'm thinking about raising a calf. Looks like you put a lot of TLC into what you do. I'm judging that by the way the kittne is acting around you. You are it's world. lol!

That one in the middle looks like it will grow into a good natured cow. Smaller and gentle. High headed heifers are meant for one thing in my opinion...feedlots!

I live not to far from you and I have a jersey heifer I bred to an angus bull. Once she calves, should I get another calf to put on her? I don’t plan on milking her at all.

@Toby Perris yes I did! I got one within a week of the calf being born. She fed the calf just fine. This year she nursed extra 2 calves as well as hers as the same time. We had to hobble her until the calves learned to nurse from behind. Then after that she did the rest!

Why don’t you offer hay? Our calves naturally grazed grass after their first week. Grain is not a natural food for a cow.

Do you ever lose any at night due to coyotes

The mums are back on the farm they came from. Dairy cows have to have a calf each year to stay in milk, commercial dairy farmers sell the calves after a few hours / days / weeks. Feeding the calves by bottle is expensive and time-consuming, so the dairy farmers find it better and more profitable for them to get what money they can.

The male is cute
