I Just Found a Mysterious White Calf Wandering My Farm

hey Abby dog I need you to come with me we're going on a mission I wasn't even planning on shooting a video today but this one's so exciting that I went back to the house and got the camera so come with us come on Abby lead the way I bet everybody's going to be so excited by this come on let's go and no the exciting thing I wanted to show you is not Abby taking a poop yeah that one should go on dogs pooping in beautiful places who who who where you going okay okay it's okay it's okay you going to little temper tantrum sweetie we have a new little calf that was just born come on come on come on I'm taking you back to your family where you going oh it's okay it's okay yeah sweetie yeah we got a new charlay heerf that was just born overnight and she's been like super super Wily keeps running away from everybody but I got to give her some vaccines before I put her back in and give her a vitamin supplement too so my vet gave me these you guys probably can tell my inexperience with doing this stuff who hey easy easy hang on oh don't kick the camera just going to be a little Pokey there you go that's it that's all we had to do now the entire rest of our herd is all the way over there she keeps running away I think I'm going to keep her on Halter and walk her over there and by the way in case you're wondering yeah she is a heffer calf if I didn't say it already we're bringing you back to your family you're just in full-on protest I'm going to just let you go and see if you go back there I mean you should have enough sense to go back to everybody taking the halter off now they got the vaccine on I don't need to control you that much now can we get you to go back to your family not that way where you going well she's definitely a healthy little calf she's now running all the way to the other side of the field be easy don't chase her Abby was looking at her like she might need to be hurted but I don't want Abby to like go nuts and really spook her outside of the fence cuz she could probably slip through this fence we got an escape artist on her hands so what we're going to want to do is catch her and put the halter on her again and I think we're going to have to just bring her back in the ATV oh girl hi isn't she cute I think clay abington's scaring her hey hey Abby Abby Abby all right why don't you sit back ABS you're doing so good though I know you're being really good I think the best bet is to transport her in the back of the ATV come on sweetie is this protest nice and easy nice and easy there we go this might be a bad idea how about you sit with her up front Drive really really slowly okay all right we're going to let you go back to your mama you're completely not interested in your family huh that's not your mom she's not going to have milk for you wait a minute is she not nursing is that the problem nope your mom's over here look your mom's over here nope Amanda's not your mom there we go that's what we like to see now can you get a drink for your mom I'm still not 100% sure who her mom is I'm pretty sure it's astd but I could be wrong and it could be Amelia Bedelia but I think when we did the pregnancy check for Amelia earlier this month it seemed like she was like 3 months away or so maybe two months away and so this calf is way too big and way too healthy to be that premature so I'm pretty sure it's astd but the real thing I'm watching for right now is to make sure she knows who her mom is and that she's drinking because I haven't seen this calf drink milk yet and while it seems really spunky and really healthy if it doesn't get enough food and enough nutrition it can get sick really really quick ly [Music] oh you're being such a sweetheart yes you are you're doing a really good job up here today [Music] so this is a good resolution here it seems like little Betty White who yeah Allison and I have already officially decided that's her name is settling in really well with her mom she's been drinking milk I can see her over there right now starting to take a nap she's with the rest of the herd She's Not wandering out in the wider pasture and I think she's going to be okay mom is definitely not a fan of Abby and Abby knows to kind of stay away my baby's napping leave her alone aby's just like I have so much love to give just so so much love to give come on Abby dog let's go [Music] [Music] [Music] Time Keeps On Slipping slipping slipping into the [Music] future time keeps on slipping slipping s into the future [Music] hours later don't worry Toby dog you're going to get to go do egg collection with me in a couple minutes but first Abby and I got to go check on something with the cattle come on sweetie you're in charge of the farm Toby dog and you go my dear let's turn this off I really hope the calf is doing well and just hanging out with her mom I checked in earlier this afternoon it looked everybody was doing really good so I'm optimistic hey there kudu how's it going Amanda look like you got plenty of water that's a good sign how you doing Annie Ariel Audrey guys look like you're ready for some fresh grass huh what you thinking there astred hey baby Bell hey Bonnie McMurray astred you did a really good job today I'm very proud of you we got the two betties Betty Rubble and Betty White how's it going guys nope they don't want to hang out with me that's actually a good sign that shows that we have some nice healthy calves lots of energy that's what you want to see little Betty White even though she's less than 24 hours old is taller than both of the other calvs you're next you know that right so I've been moving them so far two or three times a day right now which is really good it keeps them always on Fresh pasture always with plenty of grass because we have plenty of grass hey K come on KS fresh grass fresh grass come on sorry astd I don't mean to interrupt I was just watching a nice tender milking session going on here so this calf is looking pretty darn good very healthy getting milk from mom which is a good sign running around it has lots of energy so I'm feeling very good and it's not straying from the herd anymore I got to admit I was so terrified this morning I think when I started this video I don't even think I started the story properly because the way this whole day played out was I was planning on having just a chill day where I was working on the weird chicken Coupe and not really shooting any videos where I have to talk much and I was just coming up here to do my chores and not take too long up here but I came up here and as I was moving the cattle from yesterday's Paddock to today's first Paddock I like noticed that there was like something white off in the grass distance like over there beyond the fence line and the moment I walked up to it it took off and like ran all the way towards the woods I didn't even have my phone on me so I didn't catch any of it on video but it like sprinted all the way to the fence and like ran into the Outer Perimeter fence bounced off it and sort of collapsed and I was like oh crud and so that's when I decided to like run back down and go get uh the camera and go get the vitamins and go get the halter and like go be ready to do everything that I needed to do when I found her she was back over there and again not with the herd so I was a little bit afraid that she was like having trouble like bonding with the herd and so now that it seems like she spent the whole day up here with everybody and is doing good is drinking milk is playing with the other cabs like that's exactly what I wanted to see speaking of what I wanted to see cattle are just mowing on down through this grass and it's so satisfying to watch where I'm moving them every 12 hours or so I mean it's like 6:30 p.m. right now and I think I moved them about 7 a.m. this morning and I'll be back up here again 7:00 a.m. and move them again and so super super satisfying to see them out here doing this and honestly if I keep at this pace I'll be like perfectly timed to keep up with the grass growth throughout summer of course I've been doing this long enough to know that I shouldn't be counting those chickens before they hatch now I think I only have two more potential calves coming this year so I'm certain and my vet confirmed this that Amelia belilia she is about seven maybe eight months pregnant and so she should be having a calf that looks very similar to the calf that was born today and then Amanda hug and kiss I think is probably going to be like a September baby if I had to guess August September baby something like that but I'm actually not 100% on a and uh we did not confirm that when I had my vet here doing the checks so uh I don't know we'll see we'll playing this one by here but yeah it's going to be fun to watch at least the three little girls that we have here now grow up cuz we got Belle and Betty and Betty but I'll be back real soon with another video update but thanks for watching everybody have a great night
