People who try to flip bottle babies suck!
People in my town bought a sale barn 12 day old Brahman for a $100 thinking they could flip him for $1500, they put out on FB they needed help because they thought he was dying which he was, they’ve never owned cows so I responded.
I got there and found out he wouldn’t take a bottle so they just put a bucket of milk out for, so I knew he hadn’t ate for 2-3 days. He was actively trying to nurse on anything and severely malnourished
I was so pissed after seeing him, told them he’d be dead in another day if the didn’t do something. I gave them $200 threw him in my backseat, got him home gave him electrolytes and he took a bottle no problem. His navel was severely infected so I took him to my cattle vet and he did surgery.
After five days, he’s totally thriving now. I named him #49 Wobbles because he could barely stand when I found him. Sorry, I had to vent about it
