You're a champ John!
...what Stew said!
John you are a good man. Keep Ben away from green grass and this will help with the scours.
Did Mr. Cain take a pass on the calf. At any rate four more head of cattle and you will be a rancher.
BEN and BIG BEN (when grown up) wonderful name dude . That Alpine-Terlingua gravel oil contract is going to last a while, runs will affect vechicles brakes with little rocks as did with ours yesterday while going through. Observed muddy dirt roads around and by FL and by the closed trailer restaurant by the mail boxes. The area seems still pretty dry, very few wild animals observed in this trip this time .New young positive faces by the Big Bend Resort Adventures restaurant and the River Tours businesses. Loved it .Missed Jess there at the Chisos Mining Motel.
The little one's name is perfect.
Encantada de conocerte, querido Benito!
Isn't motherhood grand?
Just think, a mama cow can make milk without all that fancy equipment. Amazing when you really think about it.
Good luck with the new vaca.
How many times a day must he be fed?
John, you are wonderful. I am glad you have little Ben.
Are you sure you have to be so precise with the temperature? We used to just have it warm enough to be able to dissolve completely. Maybe it its some newer stuff that needs a higher temperature.....130 I don't remember ever getting it that hot.
Just wondering if you named him in memory of Ben in Texas?
Good luck with the feedings!
If he gets the scours, juat mix a raw egg in the milk for each feeding. It is a good ol farm remedy that works. We raised many calves by not heating the milk at a perfect temperature and only feeding twice a day!
Good luck on weaning in three months. Most bottle babies take a bit longer to fully wean.
Welcome to parenthood, in middle age. That's a lot of hard work and dedication. Best of luck to you, and to Ben.
