I t...I can only wish I was there to give you a hug. I think you need one. :) Good onya for dealing with all of this, and for a very helpful daughter as well. <BR/>A 17 lb. single is very unusual if I remember correctly. When I was barn manager my senior year in university, we had to help the herd of angus heifers deliver. Out of 32 of them, 32 had to have calf-beds (uterus) replaced. Turns out that the bull they used over the heifers was known for throwing lare headed calves, but as he was a gift to the university, they used him on the way-too-small heifers. That season taught me to use smaller males for crosses. I still have dreams about it and shudder at the thought of those nights now. <BR/>You did all you could do. Sometimes, we just have to let go. I was so glad to read the little bummer got some colstrum. With your good care, he's gonna do just fine. Hang in there!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.com
