As requested... here is a video of Blessing mooing
. As of now, she has blessed our life for 72 hours and today when I went to let the dogs in, I saw her standing in the sheep pen... she had gotten up and walked out there all on her own. Her first journey out of the barn!!
When we walked out there... she ran, yes ran! up to us
She is just a completely different baby today! You can tell she's gaining weight and getting stronger. Ohhhh and her backside looks better too... her dookie is finally more solid
I know lol a weird thing to be excited about but scours are not good for calves.
So here is the first video. You can hear her mooooooo and see her run after Daddy to get her food. (Sorry for the view of the ground and fence lol I caught my sweats on the fence and tore them!) and you can hear the horrendous windstorm we're having too. He made the blind comment when she walked straight into the support pole I was standing next to.

Then there's a second video with more good news
She finally took the bottle!!!
She got 1/3 of it down before she couldn't do it anymore so we tubed her the rest so she'll continue to improve (we hope!) and I got her first bottle drink on video

Oh and here is a picture of the first bottle too
It's a great day on the farm!! (Except the 60 mile an hour winds
) and HUGE thank you's to all of you!! I know your well wishes and prayers have made all the difference!
