Yep old chicken house. We raised birds up till now basically. We just got shut down. Either build new or quit. So I have a couple old big buildings to figure out what to do with

I store my implements and hay in mine. It's 400 x 40. But it's old.....built in 1972.

What’s the story behind this one dying too know

Broke the drag chain with 8 or more ton of chicken *s-word on it. Woulda been a couple days shoveling it off. Layer some bales of straw down and pushed it over with a backhoe to clean it out.

I hear water births are all the rage these days. Lol
She couldn't of picked a worse place. Good thing you found her.

Was it a bull calf? I think Canadian farm boy is right, she sure picked a dandy spot! I’ve had them calve about everywhere, but that’s a first for me.

Good work boss

Yep. Bull calf.

She was just up the hill from the water.......but ended up there while I was gone to get the rope and stuff.

The dang buzzards were gathering around it when we went back to check on it. Good luck yet again.....they hadn't started in on it yet. The heifer finally got up and onto dry ground, so we just now got the calf back with her. Looks like both will be fine.

Long morning. LOL

When things like that happen in the morning a person wonders what else is to go wrong before the day is over. At least I do!

It still can't stand very well. Just weak yet. We fed it a quart of milk replacer to hold it over and give it some strength.

Fingers crossed.

Never fails, they always want to go to a damn creek, or pond. Glad you got it done!! ( nice calf)

Mastermind, when I have a calf ,that had trouble getting delivered,I keep a bottle of Dexamethsone,its steroids,give about 5 cc to 80 lb calf. It will help dry the fluid out of it’s lungs and give it a quite of get up and go!

Doubt you can even buy that stuff anymore. Vet supplies are limited now days.
