ROFL!!)
You are so right Cricket. A calf would be awesome! But we have to do someone in before we get any more beef of any size. Our big guy, Stew, was supposed to go in the freezer, but since we raised pigs, turkeys, meat birds and have venison we have no room in the freezers for him. He will live to see another summer!Cricket said:Sounds like you need a baby calf to bottle feed, Stubborn. All the fun of having something to baby and then they just go off with the others and start looking like meat!
My BIL has the coolest antique which he doesn't use. You'd need a pretty good size stock water tank. It's like a cast iron standing pipe with a bottom and grate and a cast tube that runs top to bottom for draft. They used to put it in the tank and build a fire in it to keep the tank from freezing. (I have running (hopefully!) water hose going into a cast iron bath tub. Works great when we have plenty of snow. Which isn't right now. And supposed to be -25 with wind chills worse
