Mike, your advice about starting a new day fresh is what my doctor tells me. He says learn from the past and keep going. I had not been doing that and you are right about it weighing us down. I feel so much better now that I have the tools to just move ahead. Pat

But l pray you stay healthy and can get some rest. God bless Erin who is holding down the store and your home. It's so nice to see you two work so well together. Has your tenants moved in yet? Okay I'm rambling now. I'll say a prayer for you, the calves. Be safe. The cows can get a little cranky..Thanks for making my day. Love your channel. ♥️🇺🇸🌹

You have other calves to look after and life gos on hopefully you'll have some news from the vet as to what happen to her so what's next for our Wyoming life keep up the good work and see you in the next video🤔🐂😔😢

awwww, darn, sometimes it just happens, you did your best. I like how some of the cows just treat you like part of the herd, just give you a sniff and accept what is going on.

My thoughts as well with No 6 she looked as if she was stepped on When i was a beef farmer many years ago it was uncommon but it did happen cows are wonderful mums but they can clumsly at times Let us all know what the vet finds out

[@plumbum48]

I feel farmers and ranchers are some of the hardest working and most resourceful people in our world. I base a lot of this on things my Mother told me about her youth. She was born on a Central Texas cotton farm in 1919, growing up as a teenager in the Great Depression. One thing she mention to me in just a passing comment was “if we didn’t grow it, we didn’t eat it”. Was just a fact of life statement to her but said volumes to me of the hard like farming and ranching was then and to a certain extent still is today.

[@thomasbrooch8697]

I'm from New England, where it's almost 60 today and the winters long deep freeze is over I hope and I'm curious, you had another video I watched where you were calving in deep snow years ago is there a reason why you don't breed your cows one month later, like I said I'm curious? I'm kinda a hillbilly and way back, when I was a kid I work for many farmers throwing hay and harvesting crops before I went to work in the trades and always wished that I had been a farmer. I like your show and your farm, good luck with calving. God bless all farmers and ranchers

While i agree everybody has bad days. When i saw the #6 calf when you found him. My first impression based on the the way she held her neck and head. I would say that she got stepped on possibly more tjan once.

Mike, I know every place is different. But I urge you to check into Kit Pharo and some of his ranching philosophies. Specifically calving ease and calving in sync with nature. Once you calve on green grass you will never go back. I appreciate all that you do for the ranching community. You present the lifestyle very well.

[@edgarlajambe1947]

Mike, when you found calf #6 yesterday my first thought was white muscle because we have had that issue on our farm in the past. White muscle usually hits newborn calve from 12 to 36 hours after birth and they go down very fast and it is very difficult to bring them back. Some of the symptoms are the calf can't get up, rapid shallow breathing, very week heathbeat and inability to control it's tongue to suck. Because white muscle affects the muscles it affects the heart, diapham, tongue which are all muscles. As a precautionary measure we give all our newborn calves a 2 ml injection of SELON E as soon as they are born as recommended by our veterinarian. Since we have started this practice we have not lost a calf to white muscle in 4 years. SELON E is a selenium and vitamin E supplement and is manufactured by Vetoquinol. Hope this helps and good luck. Orchard Hill Farm, Massey, Ontario, Canada

[@brianjonker510]

It is standard practice in the Eastern USA albeit 6 weeks before calving. Not so in the Western USA. Out where it is dryer the selenium levels in the soil are high sometimes very high and a supplemental shot or selenium in the lick tub can be toxic.

[@spotteddawgranch9421]

We had 2 sets of twins this season. Lost both of the 1st set. The second set, momma kicked the smallest one off. She is in the back yard being a bottle baby. So far, no free-martin. You are spot on about Angus not making enough milk. What has worked for us is to put a Gelbvieh bull on our Angus and develop a Balancer herd. They are great milk producers and so far 100% have scored choice+ on the rail. You are a tough son of a gun! It was 38 here last night for a low and that was too cold!
