My grandparent...Arlene, what you wrote is SO TRUE! My grandparents stayed in their own home until they got tangled up in the tomato vines and broke their hips! Grandma lived to be 100 and Grandad was 97, so they were happy in their surroundings. You did the right thing: you comforted her and did the best you could. And, gosh! Your horse was bashed on the head by the TRAINER? What kind of trainer does that???Cheryl Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211625006758463474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905830803741462835.post-30292641124037198742009-04-06T20:19:00.000-07:002009-04-06T20:19:00.000-07:00The poor little calf just died.

Something was wrong with her lower jaw it stuck out too far and she kept opening her mouth like she was yawning. I guess she just wasn't meant to live.<BR/><BR/>When our blind cow had twins they were very weak and couldn't stand, but they were 'normal'. Brad had to milk the blind cow for the colostrum and boy was that a circus. But he did it. Goat colostrum is a good idea!arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09089402069527140627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905830803741462835.post-80917220729617059362009-04-06T19:58:00.000-07:002009-04-06T19:58:00.000-07:00I am sorry about the baby calf.

We gave them each a quart of goat colostrum and that perked them up. Their mother took good care of them but was pretty shocky at first. She is due to calve again in a couple of weeks. I hope that is not a pattern for her. We didn't have to tube them, they sucked the bottle. They are a year old now and we still have them.
