Five days old - my first calf ever...

[Queen Mum]

I found her in the barn this morning in excruciating pain. Bleeding out of her bottom. She was weak last night and though she took a bottle she was lethargic. I put her down this morning. I opened her up and it looked like her mama might have stepped on her. Her stomach looked damaged. Her gut looked fine. Poor baby must have been in pain the whole time.

RIP Lizzy Bell!

So sorry QM. Sometimes no matter what we do it just doesn't always work out. Very sad day.

Thanks everyone. I am learning from this. And taking it to the next baby. I hope to be a better shepherd to the next baby!
