Saving a Baby Calf NEGLECTED by his Mother - A Rescue Story

Ойын-сауық

When I found him in the pasture I could tell something was wrong. Mama cow wasn't taking care of this baby calf. He was shivering and shaking. He needed to get warm. He needed colostrum. We've never dealt with this before. Hypothermia.

    AWE!! this reminds me so much of a calf we had eight years ago .. Was four months of hands on and in the house like this .. She's a beautiful cow now and has given us several healthy calfs. Texas Longhorn :). Thank you SR for going the extra mile..

    Funny interesting story. We have mini highland. The rancher next to us run angus. One of the mamas had twins and she rejected one. I found him and bottle fed him raised him with our mini heard. He is 2 and he is the exact size of our heard. A mini Angus. So mama could have rejected him because he was what the vets call a poor producer or he just grew to the size of his enviorment. Well done guys!

Like with Hero the baby cow, the plan is to reintroduce Grits to her mom as soon as it seems possible to do so. Happy to see all the TLC you guys gave Hero had a happy ending. Great job!

    These are memories in the making. So glad that Hero is doing well! We had an interesting and exhausting week(last week). We had made the decision to butcher one of our ewes. She didn't appear bred and it was strike number 3 for her. We had already butchered one of our cows and a ram earlier in the week. My husband was working, so I sent my oldest son out to make the kill. I was working in the front garden, when I heard him call for me. He had gone out there only to find her lambing. She had no milk. My oldest went ahead and butchered her, while the other children and I dried/fed the wee lamb. Needles to say, Ollie has had plenty of human interaction as we are raising him. He thinks he is one of us. 😂 Thankfully these instances are rare, but they are part of the homestead life. And yesterday we had a healthy ewe lamb born. It's officially spring. ❤️

    Hi Codi, what a great video of your and your families dedicated care of Hero the Calf. Great to see him doing so well and the bond he formed in your great care of him. It would have been great if you had one of those long tubes you can put all the way to the stomach and feed him that way at the start. I've seen ranchers use those to get Colostrum to calves that you too cold and weak to suck on a bottle.

    GRACE Only to the extent that we show mercy to others, people, animals, birds, fish, plants..., only to that extent should we expect God's mercy. It is logical and completely just that in the lack of grace and love, God's wrath occurs and it takes the place of the missing sublime qualities of His Image in which we were created. Christ is coming, yes indeed.
