Krieghoff and Rigby!

As you know there were twin calves born on Thursday, one black and white one and one brown and white one. Sadly the mama cow couldn't look after both of them and took the stronger of the two, the black and white bull calf that we decided to call Rigby and left the weaker of the two calves, the brown and white bull calf that we called Krieghoff to die in the middle of the bush. { and our bush is not that fun to be in at night when you a weak calf all on your own } Dad thought that may happen so we went to look for Krieghoff on Friday after school.{which in my case was till 10:30 that day} We found little Krieghoff all alone with one mama or brother in sight. Wait! I'm missing one important fact. Thursday night one of our other heifers calved and sadly her calf died while she was giving birth. So Savanna which is her name had all the milk for her baby that had died and poor Krieghoff was abandoned so Dad took Krieghoff in Sherk , which is the name of my green pickup, and put him with Savanna in hope that she may adopt him. Sadly she didn't! But Krieghoff has to drink and Savanna has to be milked because she is engorged! So we put her in the race and milked her. Savanna had never been milked before and was SO good! She just stood there and didn't even fight! We had to milk another cow, Princess and MAN was she a PAIN! But Savanna was as good as gold. We took the milk that we had from milking Savanna andput it in a bottle to give to Krieghoff. Poor guy! He was SO hungry! We have been doing that for two dats now and have pretty much mastered it. If you want to strengthen your hands all you have to do is milk a cow. That is the fastest way! Krieghoff is so cute!  He comes up to you and sucks your hand. You can lie down with him and he comes up to you for cuddles. I think I have fallen in love with this little calf. He is half the size of the other calves we had Saterday. Poor Krieghoff!
