hope you can get him to eating good.
He drank good this afternoon. He was even adding to the chorus of voices telling me it was feeding time and he got excited when he saw the pail.
I'm so glad to hear that Kitty!

Jay had her calf last night. It's a bull calf. The poor thing had a rough time coming into the world. I had to do an episodomy and we still had trouble getting the calf. Then we had to hang him over a pipe to get his lungs to drain as he wasn't attempting it. DH pulled him up by his legs while, I hugged him and lifted him up--wet calf slime turned cold before I was done--yuck! While DH took the calf in front of mom I worked on sewing her up-both the episodomy and the tear she had dispite being cut. Baby was up to eating this morning but, sitting up was his limit. He tried to stand a few times and even with my help couldn't manage it. Hopefully later today he will be able to. :fl
