Loss of a Calf: The Hard Realities of Farming

What happens here

The farmer shares the sad story of losing a calf that developed a stomach issue shortly after birth. Despite giving it vitamin/mineral supplements, electrolytes, sugar water, and even attempting to tube-feed it (after making a custom tube from materials from Lowe's, as farm supply stores lacked proper tools), the calf continued to decline and eventually had to be euthanized to end its suffering. He reflects on the harsh realities of farm life and decision-making.

Goal: Recount the experience of losing a calf and the emotional challenges of animal husbandry.
