Baby was born two days ago. Heifer appears to be premature, if not then just tiny. She was able to walk and run when she was born. We’re just taking precautions by milking her mama and making sure she drinks plenty to better her chances for survival, even though she may not need any additional assistance. Gotta love your baby’s. 20-25 LB heifer when born.

Right on, what a cutie! What breed or mix is she?
Ohhh, I know that look… yes, that head shape and narrow muzzle…. a preemie… but if it’s taking milk and surviving, maybe you’re lucky! Just watch it closely. I’ve only saved one out of maybe a dozen in 30 years. The bulls never seem to survive. They can’t breathe right, it seems.
Good luck, neighbor!
Congrats! I miss having cows for the babies most of all, they were so fun.
