Assessing Calf's Health and Natural Behavior

calf will be fully fully furry and it'll do just fine these are robust animals Guys these aren't kittens okay so yeah hey hey guys hey Mama we don't want to upset mom too much but baby's already looking to suckle mama's going to lick her dry she'll dry out pretty quick and we're not going to bother mom too awful much hey mama hey mama see how woolly that little calf is yeah that's normal now if it were to get really really cold we'll keep coming back and checking all night long if it were to get really really cold that calf will be sitting in my living room tonight or at the very least it'll be in the shop with the heater on it but it'll do fine guys there's no worry in this uh in this climate here there's just no worry uh if it were the wind was whipping and it was 5 degrees below zero of course if we were out in Wyoming um then for sure and she's pretty I didn't I didn't expect 13.5 to be popping out of calf today I think we're going to see our first drink of milk here so there we go I think best thing to do is probably I want to see this calf drink and it's looking to drink but I think the best thing to do is probably uh back away and let Mom and calf do their thing there's the calf getting ready to get its first drink of milk get that colostrum in there it's okay Mama it's it's a little rocky down here for that little calf but you know what I've learned guys and you can fuss and complain and tell me you're theories and thoughts all day long but what I've learned is leave mom alone leave the calf alone and let them do their thing okay that Mama will will treat that calf and lick it clean and that Mama will do everything that needs to be done to keep that calf warm and that calf is born with a a nice uh nice nice thick layer of fur so it's good for them very good for them often times animals tend to have their babies uh farm animals tend to have their babies in the most stressful conditions but the wind is calm everything's good and baby is latched oh she was almost latched on little heer calf Mama stimulating the tar out of her yeah so what does that mean for us well here's what it means for us I want to show you guys our Mama's had a new b a new baby the baby looks good super healthy time for Josh to leave mama and baby alone leave them alone walk away and get away from them let them do what they do let them live okay it is time for me to let baby and mama do their thing come back and check
