We've got the nasty weather coming in. It started snowing about 3:00. Isn't supposed to stop for a couple of days.
The neighbor called this am and needed to go to the ER. I got her there and went to John Deere for a cord for a block heater. About that time I found a new calf. It was lifeless so I scooped it up and took it in the kitchen. Warmed towels in the dryer and piled them on. It would stop breathing if I didn't keep rubbing it like crazy. It did the death roll on me about five times. With pairs bringing $3800 this week at the sale I wasn't about to let that happen.
It was finally wheezing on its own so I went and got the neighbor. Came back to another new calf not doing well in this weather. Now there were two in the kitchen. I moved panels and got all of the due cows in the barns and fed everyone else. Came back and BOTH of those calves were up tearing apart the kitchen like drunken sailors. Took them out to their mamas in the barn and they were both sucking and kicking as of an hour ago.
There will be lots of calves getting treated better than friends if prices keep climbing.
