I have a calf
We went to get firewood yesterday and came across a calf about 10 days old and his mum was dead near the lagoon. He is starving, I rang the owner who doesnt live on the property and he was more than happy for me to take this little darling on.
So we caught him and at the moment he is living in the chook pen while I teach him how to drink from a bottle. So please send positive thoughts that he will survive ![]() If he does I suppose he will enjoy living with the mini horses lol Oh Im not sure if its he or she at this stage. Didnt want to get to personal till he/she trusts me ![]() |

Aw! Bless you Linnie! You have been so helpful to animals of all kinds! You're an angel!
I hope all goes well with the baby! You will have to post some pictures for us to see! Are you planning on rehoming him/her once they're older, or do you plan on keeping him/her? |

Good Luck with your newest addition.
I've done calf raising... and as long as they stay up, they'll make it. A nearby farmer gives us the orphans, and oh boy if it doesn't just kill me when they don't make it. Sigh... but I love them tongues and how they can be so silly and happy when they're little. It seems they only get stubborn and slow when they reach adulthood. |

Its a GIRL and her name is Georgie
![]() I have been phoning everyone making a real pest of myself but I want to make sure I do it all just right for her. I love it when she sucks my fingers lol I will take some pictures tomorrow but remember she is very malnourished. I hope she does make it as Im not to good about losing animals. Icy I will keep her if I can, but the man that actually owns her is paying for the food etc. I will however make sure he keeps her as a breeding cow I dont want her ending up at the butchers |

Aww calves are so adorable!
I can't wait to see photos. Wow, you've been rescuing many needy animals lately! We need more kind and generous people like you, Linnie. |

How sweet of you, Linnie.
She sounds like an adorable baby cow. Our neighbors have some new baby cows. When we walk by they stare at our dogs like, "OMG, mom, what kind of cow is that!" lol |

Aww Miss Georgie it is then!
I do so hope she makes it Linnie and theres no doubt in my mind that if its meant for her to make it, then it will be you who pulls her through and I can't think of a more kind person for her to be with. ![]() |

Awwww, I'm sure Miss Georgie will thrive under your care Linnie!
As a youngster I used to spend my summers with my aunt & uncle on their big dairy farm. My cousin and I were "in charge" of all the calves and we loved every minute of it. |
