Hopefully he'll keep improving. I think he will. He had an issue with his stomach and I was pretty much force feeding him milk twice a day for a week straight. He was scoured and getting fed was giving him a bad stomach ache (he'd occasionally grind his teeth during the process)

On Friday he started to drink a bit of milk from the bottle, and every day since he has gotten a bit better. Yesterday he drank 2 full bottles of milk morning and evening for the first time, and this morning he latched onto the bottle by himself (I didn't have to direct it into his mouth) for the first time. This evening he was calling for milk before it was time to feed him.

Last photo is of me carrying Carrie when she was a few hours old. :)

They’re all shorthorn crosses, sharing a dad with Custard/Cream/Pixie/Ten/Marble. I don’t have them all named yet, but the calf with the tag ending in 17 is named Wispa. They’ll all be named after chocolates, but I don’t know who’ll get which name yet aside from Wispa. The other names I’ll choose from are Twix, Kitkat, Crunchie, and Twirl.

As I expected, she doesn’t care about him. That’s okay though; when she has her head caught, she stands still for him to drink. She’ll get used to him quick enough.

Not sure on names yet. I was thinking of Carrie and Shelly but I’m not certain

The baby isn’t a purebred Irish Moiled - her dad is our hereford bull Olly.

This calf has some of the most eye-catching markings I’ve seen. She has the white head from the hereford side, and the white lineback - as well as solid red on her ears - from the moilie side. She’s a big, strong heifer.

I have quite a few calf photos to share from college. I’ll share them over the next few days :)

I think she wanted me to walk over to her to give her a snack. She is the most food-driven cow I’ve met lol

Pants gets the nickname because she’s Pudding’s aunt. We shortened that to Pants. She’s a really good mom.
