Every kid should have opportunities like this. We are all thankful that our parents put up with our antics and let us raise livestock.
Audrey Rose makes sure that all of these babies get plenty of colostrum and she dips their umbilical cords and soft hooves in iodine. Baby mammals are basically defenseless without colostrum. If something happens to the dam, you can buy powdered milk and colostrum. If it's available, I would go down to the local dairy and buy some from them. They usually have some frozen on hand for emergencies. Just make sure that it is free of Johnes Disease if you plan on giving it to a calf.
Adorable, right?
Happy Wednesday,
The Bos Lady
