We had one with partial paralysis last year, and my husband milked her in a boxpen with a portable milker for about 2 weeks until she recovered fully. She's had another calf since then, and is completely healthy now!Alicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973714830730420149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-45355772091083279012011-04-05T10:11:27.121-05:002011-04-05T10:11:27.121-05:00Love the chicken and egg photos!

We had them up here in mid-MO. I was afraid that pesky wind would blow up a storm and it did. At least there weren't any tornadoes!Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-23341531621204150692011-04-04T18:53:48.554-05:002011-04-04T18:53:48.554-05:00The food looks delish, the calf pretty.

I hope the mother cow is healing.<br /><br />I think it's Wordpress bloggers that can respond to comments individually. I don't think we blogspot folks can. I'd like to be able to do that, too.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-63011777971368819512011-04-04T09:25:54.022-05:002011-04-04T09:25:54.022-05:00Granny, yes we will keep it near the house.

So if any of you can tell me, I would appreciate it.<br /><br />First, Kris: I plan to keep the bull calf for a herdsire. He is a beautiful very dark reddish black and is half registered Black Angus and half registered Milking Shorthorn. He also is the largest calf she has raised. I will keep him up until he is breeding age of around 2 years. The only issue will be the white spotted face heifer we kept. She will have to be separate too.<br /><br />I think the llamas are helping....no further troubles with any of the new calves. I will do something in the blog about drying milk cows. I bet lots of people aren't even familiar with the term; I keep forgetting that.<br /><br />BTW, the ham is not cured ham. That is the reason we had it ground, no curing and I don't like fresh ham steaks so much. I now know there curing process makes for delicious hams so will do one of each next time.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-75156768019561077892011-04-04T08:50:14.779-05:002011-04-04T08:50:14.779-05:00I'm so sorry you lost the bull calf.

If you wean Willow's calf will you put it out into the field with the other calf you kept? <br /><br />Both those meals look delicious. My dad used to grind ham and mix some spices with it. It was delicious. I'd forgotten about it.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687590785527530194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-5490439935979412382011-04-04T08:36:10.422-05:002011-04-04T08:36:10.422-05:00Oboy.

All that by 9:...Oboy. Chick pics coming soon! :-D<br /><br />All that by 9:00 AM? Good grief!<br /><br />When you say you will 'dry' Willow, does it mean you won't have any fresh milk after that (unless she has another calf)? <br /><br />Sorry you lost the bull calf, but hope the mom is healthy. Are the llamas keeping the coyotes at bay from the other calves?<br /><br />Those 2 dinner pics look scrumptious! I never thought of grinding up ham and making a patty with it. Something to try...<br /><br />I'm off to the kitchen - I made tomato sauce yesterday (Chef's table blog) and need to portion it out for freezing. <br /><br />Hope you get some nice rain for your garden out of this front. Have a great day. :-DKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.com
