I saw that on the weekly US Farm Report show this morning. He said he stayed in the hot tub with him for something like a hour or so.

I just think it's great that a third generation farmer would do this.
I had one born in a blizzard a few years ago and brought it in the house, after it became clear he would not make it if left outside ,and i had to hear the comment "i would have just let him die" a couple of times😞

I agree, yet I am redneckish enough, I have been known to buy a baby pig at the spur of the moment, and bring it home in the floorboard of my truck.
Pig poo sticks to carpeted floor mats incase anyone was wondering.

I put a baby jersey in a feed sack to bring home. Held the pooh well but not so much the pee....
I chuckled at your title, envisioned a cow leaning back with a little umbrella drink Cool article, nice to know that some people still care for their charges.

I put a frozen goat kid in my warmed up dryer.

Did you add a snuggle sheet to avoid static cling?

Cute story. I hope he didn't have his iPhone in his pocket. They don't like that too much.

Nope downy and he's still extra soft.

He must have had his phone in his pocket cause there are no pictures!

I had a bottle calf who developed a terrible respiratory infection and went into a coma for two days, vet gave her no chance but i had him give her some very expensive somewhat experimental shot put her in the back of Hummer with her IV hooked up and drove to a business meeting in Nashville. She woke up half way there and started climbing over the seats

Same scenario, calf born in the middle of the night in a snow storm. The tractor we were driving had a "bush hog" on the back. and luckily we thought about throwing a bundle of burlap bags on the back. (tells you how old I am ) We put the calf on the burlap bags and drove him back to the barn with the cow protesting all the way (I was the designated interference between the two )

We carried it to the basment of the house, where it generally kept everyone awake all night, and returned it to the barn and her mama the next morning.
