Quiet Morning
There’s something about a still morning on the farm. The animals are relaxed and friendly, the breeze feels clean, and the quiet is endless. I gave the Moogies their morning meal, and they were more playful and curious than usual.
There’s nothing like a big, wet nose as a morning greeting. (Moogie 3)
Moogie 4 has been fighting an uphill battle since we brought him home. Colostrum
(also known as first milk or “immune milk”) contains all sorts of good stuff that builds the immune system. It’s important that the calf have Colostrum within the first few hours of life, and we found him when he was a couple of days old. Did he ever get that first meal from Mom? We don’t know, but we’re guessing the answer is no. He’s was very strong this morning; enjoying the morning sun and hanging out with the other calves. When his bottle was empty, he grumbled and let out an abbreviated moo that sounded more like a “hmph!” A good appetite is a good sign.
