Cole, I am new to your channel, currently subscribing to 8 farming videos, incl yours. Just want to say how much I enjoy your videos. They are well done, I learn a lot. While our extended family is not new to farming, several uncles owning various farms, I was raised in the city. Worked in the aerospace industry for 40 years. We recently built our new retirement home on 300 acres we own with our son and his family. Our son farms. Check out Little Fork Ranch in Greenwood, British Columbia, website and Instagram. We bought 8 angus cows and now waiting for our first 6 heifers to calf this spring. Hence one of the reason I enjoy your videos so much. Keep up the great work you are doing. You and others are doing a great service explaining farming to the vast majority of us who, in essence, have taken farming for granted. You and your family are in our prayers, Wishing you the best. W

I would find a local sawmill and buy some lumber and slabs, on the sides, to build some calf shelters... Fill the shelters with hay or straw ... Use a water sealer on everything before it’s built, especially the cut ends, to make the shelters last longer.. use tin over the tops... I would make a few for the just the calfs as well as a few for the moms... the better shelter they have the better they will be... Sawmills usually have mismatched boards too... build in lift supports for the forks or put in two eye bolts to use a chain to move them.. screw a pallet to 4x4’s on the under side of the shed?

Tip I’ve used to draft a calf onto another cow. Take 20cc penicillin and put down left nostril, 20 down right, 20 down her mouth. Then put 20cc on the back of the calf. It’s worked every time for me. Beats the hell out of skinning the dead one or fighting them for weeks.
