Worked outside at the horse farm for almost 12hrs today taking photos like this. Thank god the weather was kind. I am tired.

Colostrum failures are strongly linked to dystocia and poor suck reflex.
Unassisted ≠ easy — 78% of unassisted calves with a weak reflex didn’t feed in 4 hrs.
Score both at birth and intervene early to prevent FPT.
