Arriving on 9/26/09, calf # 3 belongs to #637. She's a great mother & has kept her baby segregated from the herd for almost a week.
Calf #4, a black bull, arrived on 9/29/09. I had to bottle feed him colostrum & milk replacer because he was too weak to stand, & when he did, he wandered off in the wrong direction even though mama, #648, was calling to him. I think he is blind & perhaps deaf. He also has a swollen right knee. Is this joint ill? Blind staggers? Dumb calf syndrome?
Calf #5 belongs to a cow that has lost
her ear tag. He arrived on 10/01/09.

Heartbreak in the barn.
So sweet!
I bet the blind and deaf one will be special. Like Tiny Tim.
Wish I could help.
Wish you could, too!
