    Oh noooo, it’s NOT keto sis...after you helped me with it last kidding, I can clearly see the difference...she not acting at all the way Busty was. She’s active, but grumpy, not spacey, she doesn’t sit like Busty did..Busty limped and sat there...Honey doesn’t do anything like that. I think...

    2 week old bottle calf

    I definitely agree about the buddy....when we first bought two calves, then lost one to pneumonia...the second was very sad. We knew we had to act quick to get more for him. Now the calf was in with the goats..,but the goats though5 he was some freak of nature! So, we moved fast and went...
