i think that was a first for everyone.what a sight.i think i would have dropped a few f word's in there.hope it work's out.hope you are both well.stay safe. gary.
WE had the same thing - the damn calf fell in the bathtub of molasses and sat there mooing it's head off and mum was standing right beside it doing the same thing! Once we tipped her out, she got licked clean by the other cattle and they camped around the bathtub for a couple of days finishing off the molasses.
LOL! You think that's bad mate! I once had to help an old mate drag a half-grown Brahman mickey about 12' up out of a disused well. The wet red mud broke his fall rather than any legs but he wasn't a happy-chappy when trying to get a rope around him from off of an aluminium ladder. AND he was positively livid after the rope broke just as he was about over the lip! Really bored it up the ladder the second time around. 😱 Second time lucky, we released the rope and the bloody mongrel just stood up, walked over to its mother and started sucking! A tough breed them old humpies! 😈🙄😁
In 85 I was out in western Queensland and it was a big drought and one of my jobs was to get the dead sheep out of the boar drains. The dead sheep would block the water and it would flow all over the flat. This made a nice swamp to have to go through to get at the sheep, black soil. I still have a pair of boots out there somewhere from when I got bogged in the early days of my sheep pulling out days. The worst thing was you couldn't walk through the mud bare foot because of the spikes off the prickly acacia growing all along the boar drain.
Unbelievable, these things are made to test us. I'd be swearing and cracking it. You're a better man than me John.
There might have been a bit of a tantrum off camera. John
Bloody calves, the little buggers will get into any and all trouble and mischief. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺
Not just calves. any young animal especially human animals. Ha Ha. John
Even though it was a serious situation, I couldn't help laughing. Glad it ended up well.
As you can imagine I wasn't laughing. John

I am going to make a new system so they can't get in the molasses. John
Ya what a mess... We have a pig right now that has been causing problems for us.
It is always something. Good luck. Jim
If its not an animal its a machine on our place. John

@@farminglifeaustralia6716 Ah, such memories of "the Good Old Days"!!! 😜😂😂
You could also cover half the tank with a pallet leave half open.They can't get into it.
I have been thinking about an improvement. John
LMaooo licking him like a lolli pop
He was the herds favourite for a couple of days. John
he's pre marinated! **double snare *cymbal crash
Not a good way to start the day. John
You might be on to something here, a walking lick block that travels with the cattle.
Thats an idea throw a bit of salt and mineral on him and off you go. John
Drought master are good genetics
We like them. John
I know it’s not good but bloody funny
I can just about laugh now. John
Calves are always playful
Always up to something. John
Hahahahahahaha, how in heavens name did he get in there lol…. At least it wouldn’t have died from starvation hehehe
I would say one of the big bulls lifted him in. John
Was wondering. What changes have you seen in the paddocks you put the Biochar? Has the soil gotten deeper? How long ago did you spread it?
I don't think the soil has got deeper. The area seems to respond quicker after rain and the cattle seem to feed there more. John
@@farminglifeaustralia6716 In the Amazon it rains a lot. So places where they do not get as much rain. May take longer to see results.
@@charlescoker7752 I am happy with the results more grass and the cattle like it. John
A bit to early for a beef marinade I think. at least the other cattle were entertained
I wasn't impressed. John
Well there is a new one,glad you only lost a little sweet
There's a new one about once a week around here. If its not an animal its a plant or machine. John
