This afternoon I added straw to the area next to the barn in the south corral. I think the one cow's due date is January 28 or 29. I want her where I can easily check up on her. Also having the straw will make it easier and warmer for the new born calf.
When I had the cattle in the corral as I took out a new large hay bale for them to eat later, I also put out their vitamin supplement lick.
The cow who I expect will give birth soon.
To keep the cow company, and also cut down on how much walking the calf with white muscle disease has to do, I also put him in the south corral with the cow. And this will give him more hay to eat as due to his slow walk, the other cattle eat lots of hay before he gets there.
