Went out at ten, then at two a.m. to find one new calf. Out at six a.m. with one calf on the ground and another heifer birthing. The heifer birthing was trying to calm the other calf by being over bearing and pushing the calf around. If the zero temps weren't stressful enough. The calf was breathing when I arrived and pull it away from the dispute but died before I got it to the heated barn. The birthing heifer had calf a half hour later and is doing fine. Heifers can be a challenge at times!
