March came in like a lion in some areas. It didn’t here, just a nice winter day with a few flurries. Folks around me have started calving and it’s been kind of chilly. I’m glad mine aren’t yet. I see social media posts of many people looking for a calf to graft on a cow. Cold weather is sure hard on the babies.

If you have calved or foaled for long, you’ve probably encountered a calf or foal that got up, nursed, then failed to thrive and died. It may have been “dummy foal or calf syndrome”. If you are internet savvy or have a grandkid that is, look up Madigan Squeeze technique. It could save a calf or foal for you. I know folks that have used it and it really works.
Well, that’s my circle for another week. I’m ready for some sunshine and warm days again, and we’re definitely closer to spring. I always believe it’s really spring when I hear the first meadowlark. There can still be a lot of winter after that, but it gives me hope. Pray for our nation and may God bless America!
