Watching that little lad feed the calf made my day start with a big smile. People don't understand a field shed is not only unnecessary but will become a collecting area for manure instead of dispersing it over the pasture and ultimately a breeding ground for disease and parasites.

Every boy should grow up spending time out in the barn feeding and carrying for animals, one of my favorite memories growing up, something about doing it when it was cold , still remember the smell of the hay and the barn. Great video!!! Thanks Brother!!!

Good morning Micah ! Caleb's (?) Is doing a great job being a surrogate mother. Is there a reason you don't hobble Blossom's back legs with rope to train her not to kick ? Just curious. That kitten is crawling under Joel's legs hoping for a stray squirt of milk, or hoping for that bucket to tip over. Lol Stay happy, healthy, hydrated, safe and warm. May God continue to bless you and your family..
@McGieHomesteadAdventures3 жыл бұрын
We don’t like to hobble them unless they are really bad ..... only one cow we ever owned had to be hobbled. Caleb loves his new job!

Could you just let the calf have at the cow for the first three or four days then start milking her or do you separate the calf immediately after birth?
@McGieHomesteadAdventures2 жыл бұрын
You can do that….. usually you should still make sure the bag is fully milked out after the first day…. Otherwise you’ll have a huge mastitis problem
