Irish Blacks would be better. :lol: :lol:
Salers on angus -------when they leave the shelter in a storm,as angus are prone to do,maybe they could outrun the cold :( :( :(
I read these things year after year----A tight bag is the best incentive !
Just bottle feed the calf in a pen near the mother till her bag gets tight
You will see how easy it is to get her to take calf then!
for what it's worth--my rules---keep the mother on her feet ,if you can--half hitch on top of pastern--pull straight back--if backwards put one foot above the other so the hips will rotate a few degrees and keep pulling straight.
always has worked for me
Was checking some of milkmaid's posts--ran into this. If that calf looked like Hilary from the rear he could start a new line with an awfull lot of meat on the round!
Cocked off to the LEFT?? Not much chance then for the poor lil bugger. If it lives, it'll likely be a Democrat . . .

Some ranchers and farmers have gone to Europe on their own and collected beetles Seems they are somewhat site specific so they need to be gathered in various places.
All good advice---but if you are as green as you say you are I would have an old hand come over and have a look.Also any of the good ol boys.or girls, are always glad to help.
I remember that steer.I think it was grand champion fed steer.It was bought by Eddie Collins(the self proclaimed) marketing genius and put on display in Iowa.
Just wondering if any one knows what became of him? E.C. that is.
