This past Sunday was no different. However, the miracle we were blessed with came about two months early and so very tiny. He was an embryo calf that was due to arrive in June but decided to make his debut already.
I have yet to name this little guy, but he appears to be fully developed and so far doing well. I am able to feed him with a lamb nipple and Coke bottle. He has such inner strength and drive and has already exceeded our expectations!
I don't believe anyone in my family has seen as small of a calf as he, especially one that is alive and well. Wish him luck and all name suggestions are welcomed!
Our tiny man enjoying his afternoon meal! He has gradually developed a greater appetite and is drinking more and more each feeding.
Still unable to get up on his own, Mr. Little always looks so relaxed and comfortable snuggled in around the straw. At night, he keeps warm with a nice blanket.
One can hardly see how small this boy is in a photo with just him. Therefore, our wonderful Red Heeler has so graciously posed for this photo to give comparison to the size of our baby calf. Julie looks looks pretty cute, too!
Its so amazing how well this tiny man is doing...and only the size of a small dog!
