I have some very exciting news regarding my blog! I have been working very hard trying to establish a way for me to post short videos to coincide with my daily blog posts instead of only including images in every post. I included the link to my YouTube channel that I will periodically be posting short videos. The first video I have uploading on my YouTube channel is a short that is only about one minute long which shows a heifer calf of only a few days old being trained to drink milk out of a bucket! If you watch the video you will see that a hand is often used to coax the calf's mouth down towards the bottom of the pail where her warm milk is resting. For most calves like this one they typically learn rather quickly that the milk is in the bucket and will no longer need assistance when feeding! There have been numerous times I can recall when I start training a bottle baby on eating milk in a bucket and after the first try they immediately understand and will eat their next feeding from the bucket without any of my guidance. Here is a preview of our star featured in my YouTube short, she is the notorious calf in the video titled "Feeding Calves." In the future I want to include informative shorts on things such as the complete process for tending to a newborn heifer calf, administering subcutaneous IV, and many more!
