Rescue mission….

….grandson Church and a friend from college, Rachel Dyl, have suddenly found themselves spending their vacation nursing a newborn calf.  IMG_0446

The calf was a twin….his smaller sister is doing fine.  But big brother never got up to nurse and mother has abandoned him.  We have him up and standing…and even taking a few steps…but he still hasn’t decided whether this whole “living thing” is worth the effort.

We won’t give up until he does.

    I once had a cow reject a calf and my wife’s great uncle told me how to get her to accept it. Tie the cow so she cannot move far, then let the calf go to it to nurse, when the cow kicks it away, take a rubber hose and hit the cow over the head hard. Do this several times and she will stop kicking it away–it woks.
