Well, maybe not a little suprise but a suprise none the less. We have 48 cows in about 40 acres of corn stalks. I feed them every morning with the verical mixer. Today as nick opened the gate and I pulled in the field I looked out across the farm about 40 rod and saw a cow looking at a black spot on the ground. This was easy to see since we have about 6 inches of snow on the ground. My heart sank like a rock because I knew what she was looking at, or at least I thought I did. I headed over with the mixer while nick went and got one of the four wheelers. He got there first as I walked over towards him, the cow and calf he said "its alive!" I was shocked, it was about 20 degrees and windy last night. She had the calf out in that snowy field somewhere. As I got there and stood over the calf wondering what in the heck we were going to do he jumped up, ran to mom, and away they went across the farm. While feeding the cows I jumped out and grabbed the calf and then nick threw him over his lap on the four wheeler and headed to the sheds. We got him in and got him covered up and after a phone call with another friend decided to take him to the house and get him warmed up good. Brought him in and put him on the floor in the mud room. Had him in for a couple hours. He never bothered a thing. I sat with him while dad came down to observe as well as cliff. We took him back to the other farm, brought mom up to the sheds and reunited them. He looked fantasic when we did chores tonight. They are bedded down in the shed for a day or so. Mom really did a nice job cleaning him up this afternoon. He was up chasing here around nursing while we were there. I worry about every calf, always do.
