Have also had this happen and it does sort itself out in the end! My vet suggested at the time that I put mum and calf into a small area so the baby had not too far to walk for food!
Good luck

Please, please don't let that news be known to my lot! I would never have a night's sleep. They don't seem to have got their acts together and can drop a calf at almost anytime of year, Congrats anyway!

Could well be wrong Duncan but seem to think there may be an exemption for "Highlands and Islands". These rules make little sense for anyone in Scotland, any showing I used to do involved at least a three hour journey, so they would certainly stop me now(apart from other reasons). Trips t...
