    It feels like it, but I don’t like to complain because then I think of all the people who are calving out 300+.

    Anyone seen this before? They were both very tired but we figured he should get some colostrum, the benefits of a bottle baby!

    Thank you! Yeah she was very confused about what to do, pushing the calf away, spinning away, and she did kick at him a bit, but they figured it out!
