Here she is...
our little frozen calf
We named her Elsa...
After the Disney Princess from the movie Frozen
Yes, she is all thawed out and...
SUPER CUTE !
Golden Girl is so glad to have Elsa at her side...
Elsa is so happy to be back with her mama...
2 weeks ago Golden Girl gave birth to Elsa.
It was a long, difficult delivery
and 19 degrees that night.
When we found Elsa the next morning,
she was frozen to the ground and not moving.
We rushed home with the frozen, newborn calf,
rubbed her down and dried her off
with a hair dryer
and tubed her with colostrum.
We could not get a reading on the thermometer.
5 hours later she could open her eyes,
it gave us hope.
By the next morning,
we heard mooing from the basement !
Elsa is now back out in the pasture
with her mama, Golden Girl.
Elsa is a very friendly calf. When she sees us out
in the field, she comes up and sucks our fingers.
I think she knows us, knows our smell...
and maybe she knows we helped her out
when she needed it most.
When you raise livestock, you are just a heart beat
away from death and sorrow...
you must take the bitter with the sweet.
This time it ended sweet.
