A Good Episode If You Are New To Cows And Calving

I'm hoping that you might find something in this episode that will help you during calving season, especially if you are just starting out! I think there might be a couple of takeaways for experienced farmers too.I talk about my calving bins, keeping safe when near a new mom, home made electrolyte solution, colostrum, milk replacer, selenium-vitamin E, castrating, and many other things.Here is something I forgot to mention LOL and I thought of it as soon as I was done recording. If a calf isn't breathing, reach for a piece of straw and insert the straw a couple of inches into the calf's notril. I've had success a couple of times doing this.Electrolyte: store these ingredients in a ziploc bag and administer the solution with a tube doser or bottle1.9 litres warm water1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon "salt free" salt1/4 teaspoon baking soda2 tablespoons corn syrupFind your place in the world. Dig in, and take responsibility from there. - Gary SnyderPlease contact me with your own [email protected]
