Bottle Feeding Lily

bottle feeding lily

This heifer lost her mom. Sadly. It was heartbreaking. So now, I care for this heifer calf. We call her Lily after her mom.
 
Throughout the day, I walk to the barn to feed Lily. She is happy to see me. Lily gets bottle feed milk...
2 quarts at 7:00 am
2 quarts at 12:00 pm
1 quart at 5:00 pm
2 quarts at 10:30 pm
(and meals from other cows that will let her nurse) 
 
It is work. But, I love it. I will give her the care she needs.
