When Things Go Wrong : Saving A Calf

This week we finally finished combining ALL the corn we had and then had a surprise. Sometimes things don't go as we hope or wish, but we make the best of bad situations. In this video meet Elmo our new bottle calf, he's a heart stealer. Also, hats and shirts will be re-stocked this week in my shop (some already have been.) Thank you for your support and for being here! And if you like my channel, I'd be so grateful for you to hit Subscribe and turn the bell on. :)

Hi! I'm a farm wife, mama to two and coffee addict - raking my way through life on the farm, inviting you along. I believe all of our stories matter and that they all relate more than we think.

My husband, two children and I work and live on a beef cattle operation in Milton, NC on the Central NC/VA line. No two days are the same around here and I use this vlog to show the good, the bad, the hard and the rewarding we find in this life. If you like what you see, I'd love for you to subscribe and tell a friend who might enjoy, as well. This community is growing and I love interacting with you all. Farm hard, live well.

It's great seeing Elmo over on the Worley channel as he grows up, you did such a good job raising him as he's a very gentle bull.

It's sad to me too! I'm just glad the calf survived and that Austin in going to be actively involved in his care. I think she has fallen in love with Elmo. It will be a great learning experience for all of you Merediths. Thanks.

From one farm wife to another, you're awesome! You remind me that it's not just me living this farm life...kids, calves and all!

[firsttankcrews]

And now you can follow Elmo with his own herd on the Worley homestead channel. He's still gorgeous and it's all due to the love he was given. Congrats to you all

You show the world why Southern women, wives and mothers are the best.

[WildBillHabiki]

Wow it gets real when you have to take over for the mom and bottle feed them.

[janiceaucoin]

Much luck with Elmo and his mama. Good job, Austin! I hope you get a slow and steady rain.

[sirwoofsalot]

Love the rains there in the Eastern states. Especially on a tin roof!! You guys are more fortunate than you realize. Be Blessed!

[justinmills]

It's the neatest thing to watch kids grow up farming. Not just on a farm but doing the farming.
