Re: Foster Calf

Hi

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we kept her in a stable with some pet lambs and she settled down the after two days, she is now out in the field as if nothing happened.

I think drying her off was the best decision all round

Thank you for the advice

Re: Foster Calf

Hi

Thank you for your advice Stephanie, from experience how long do they take to get over loosing their calves, she's climbing the walls.
Luckily we have never experienced this before and want what's best for the heifer

Foster Calf

Hi I need your help

This is a long shot but possibly worth a try.

Our heifer lost her calf this morning and we are considering trying to get her a foster calf

Has anyone successfully managed this ?

Any advice would be much appreciated

Kind Regards
