In this video from Jonathan Gates last week, we see one of his Angus heifers (most of his are Jerseys) has just given birth to a bull calf. Unfortunately, the new mother is suffering a bit with a calcium deficiancy, a common problem after heifers give birth. She's needing a little natural treatment and a little time to recover. We'll report on this new mom's progress in a future edition of The Bovine Bugle. Subscribe to The Bovine Bugle using the button to the upper left and you won't miss out on the news! Comments
