We have only about 30 calves so far, but we will be hitting some busy days soon with more than 10-12 born a day!

He was still wet and probably would have died if he had not found him when he did. He carried him up to his Mom and everything was fine. Another month old calf wasn't with her Mom this morning and we feared something had happened to her but she showed up later.
