Re-warming Methods for Severely Cold-stressed Newborn Calves

Think what you want, we have used this on baby calves and pigs for years and it works. Old timer methods have worked for years for old timers. The only trouble with being a smart Alec is that someone else is always glad to do the same for you. Apparently I am not the only stupid hick who uses whiskey for livestock.

I think it's a good excuse to carry a bottle around if you need to...
But I think there are other, better methods to warm a calf.

Lots of old timer used turpentine and gun powder to cure just about anything, and I don't agree with that either.

There is no point in exchanging insulting and snide remarks. Have it your way.

It's not snide or insulting.
Improperly used alcohol can cause problems
