Hooray! Welcome to the family little one! Maybe name her Daisy 🌼 like you know "loves me, loves me not" but instead "is she pregnant, is she not" or "will we have this calve today, or will we not" or "will she eat, or will she not" 😅
So glad to see that sweet baby born. Like y'all I was worried about her at first with her not eating. So grateful that she started feeding from Mom. I like the name Molly for her. God is so good, she is such a blessing.
So wonderful to see her thriving after such a tremulous start! I was thinking...with all that red fur, she would make an adorable Pippy, like Pippi (Thanks for the correct sp Carina Kaarli) long stockings. Keep at it guys!! You are an inspiration to us all!
Congratulations to y'all on your new addictions on your farm. Look at all those big bright eye's (the kid's) hope the baby calf get better & stronger , I'm rootin for ya be safe , healthy & happy God Bless much love from Georgia 💚🐮🍁👍
What a journey ! I was so worried when she was on the ground with her head back after not eating but then so relieved to see she finally got it. Little dear. ❤
when puppy was born I was watching this video with my sister she could not have so much joys since my bother was born . I hope she is reaching adult hood and have a baby on her own
My goodness I’ve been waiting to see this calf. I heard you at the end of the last video say calf’s coming out then ….. waiting. So glad to see her she’s adorable. I hope mom and baby get better at feeding. Thank you guys❣️
Congratulations on the new calf. We used to make sure the calf was feeding and would even put the cow in a head stall to allow the calf to eat. If, while milking, you tie the cow's legs together she will not be able to kick.
Thought about doing that... it was hard to get the calf to stay standing for very long, but that could have worked, too. We were getting frustrated and the calf didn't want to stand after awhile so we gave them both a rest till the next day.
@@whitehouseonthehill You could tie the cows legs back when milking until she gets more used to it. Then she should stand and will be a better nurser next time.
Beautiful baby girl I know you were watching Dolly threw out the night with the new calf just make sure the calf doesn’t get laid on that’s happened to me a couple times and it’s sad and scary!
Oh my goodness! She is so adorable! I thought I was going to have to get the box of tissues out! I am so happy she’s doing well! Absolutely wonderful! I like the names Sadie or Cassie for her.
It never ceases to amaze me that calves are born and within minutes they are standing. Nature is truly amazing. I was going to say maybe you should hang in and make sure she gets the colostrum from her mom and I guess that's why it is always better to comment at the end lol. Great job and congrats on the sweet baby girl calve. I am quite new to the channel and am really enjoying watching your journey. You seem like an amazing family
I would throw Autumn in the ring for a name. Also, i would suggest making a small list of good names and let Randy make the final decision to appreciate his incredible efforts!
Jess over at Roots and Refuge uses a bent bar type apparatus that stops her cows from kicking by pressing on a nerve. Perhaps you could look into one of those? So glad to see little one finally thriving! :)
She's so cute! How about Tillie or Betty? Hope the calf gets all her nourishment from mama and not have to be bottle fed. That would be hard work. Congratulations! Miah from Roots and Refuge got a device to keep the cow from kicking and it seems to work well. You should check it out. It's just a curved bar that goes over the rump and keeps the cow from raising her hind leg. It might make milking safer for you.
I am very glad you guys went back out and checked on the baby calf because like you said, it is very important that they get that colostrum in your system early!! Time is mamas are just skittish and don’t want to stand still for the cabin sometimes like this gas was just weak from the delivery it seemed like it was a long process for both of them and she was worn out I think so her legs couldn’t be found under her, so why are you guys going out and giving her the colostrum that she needed gave her that extra boost whether it was in a bottle or from mommy. Once she got that in her system then she had the energy to start eating for mommy and they will settle down to do the job that needed to be done!! She REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL CALF😊♥️♥️♥️♥️ I like the name is Angel and Sweetie Pie 💕♥️💕♥️💖 I’m so happy you guys were able to see this baby calf and I look forward to watching it’s coming days on the White House farm
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video of your homestead. Congratulations on the new addition to your homestead. As for a name suggestion how about Delilah.
A good way to see if a calf is nursing when you suspect they are, is through the bottle you were using. They won’t take a bottle nipple if they’ve gotten milk from the cow, they also won’t suck on your finger if they’ve gotten milk from the cow. And another thing to note is, like newborn babies, newborn calves sleep A LOT! And hoe much they sleep depends entirely on their personality and how ambitious they are
Such a beautiful calf!! I was worried at first she was not going to eat but she was just determined to survive and thrive. It is amazing how animals can turn around so fast and just take off. I think a good name for her should be “amazing” or “Grace “
Hey, I've only seen a few of your videos but I thought I'd just leave a couple tips (you may or may not already know) on this one. I've been working on dairy farms for the last 3 years and have seen and assisted with a ton of calvings. One thing we always try to do is use some of the iodine teat dip and cover the navel/umbilical cord on newborn calves- this is to help dry up and sanitize the umbilical cord as it is essentially a corridor for bacteria to enter the calf and cause a disease known as joint ill. It probably wouldn't be as much of a concern in a set up like yours with only a few cattle and clean bedding but it's still the best practice. Another thing is your completely right- it is crucial that a calf gets colostrum in the first few hours of life, ideally 4L in the first 6 hours. The ability for passive transfer of Ig (immunoglobulins/antibodies) from the colostrum to the calf decreases rapidly after the first 6hours of life. One thing I always like to have on hand is powdered colostrum in case the calf doesn't nurse or you can't get enough colostrum for a full bottle out of mom. It also might be handy to have a stomach tube around- we use it on calves that won't drink (and may otherwise die without intervention). Anyways I just thought this might be useful information for you guys in the future. Congrats on your new calf!
Everytime I see your valiant struggles, I wish you lived near Dr.Pol & his team, because they would definitely be able to offer guidance. You must (& sure you did) reach out to your vet asap! Goid luck🙏

first
I think the name Rosie suits her!
I think you should name her rose cus of daisy its fits with the theme
@@MrsEWhite87 i almost had the same idea i didnt steal the idea from u this whas also my idea
I think Daisy will be a good name.
I think she's suit Poppy. She's so adorable and needs a name that reflects her beauty 😍
I like that name
That is the name my son suggested!
I think it is a awesome name 👍
I love the thought of picking a few of your favorite names and letting Randy choose. He’s such a nice man with a heart of gold!!!
Maisie + Dolly = Molly sounds so cute 🫶🏼
I Bad the same idea because of the same reason😊
Perfect 😍
What about butters? I think it’s really cute
I think the same
Or Daisy
So happy the calf started nursing, was really worried for her❤
Me too!
Same 😊
GET A KICK BAR FOR THE MAMA COW. Doesn't hurt her, just prevents her from kicking you. You can put the mama in the milk stand with the kick bar on and put the baby on her so she can get enough to drink.
That is not a bad idea

✨✨G R E A T ✨ I D E A✨✨
Order a microphone instead it kept mooing did you not hear it the whole time of The calf trying to stand it can sing
Exactly what I was thinking. It doesn't hurt the mama cow, would allow the baby to nurse, and would keep whoever is milking her a little safer.
Congratulations! I am all for RUBY. What a cutie. Her redness makes her just like the Gem.
Beautiful birth! Momma did great! Suggesting Nova for her name since she was born in November ❤️
I love the name Nova! That was a great suggestion 😊😊
Aww she's gorgeous! And so much milk! Glad she pulled through 😊
Aww, she’s so cute! I hope you have a good time raising her!
Edit: name suggestion too, I think daisy or molly would be good!
I was thinking Molly
I was thinking daisy to or hope
@@octavia7797 hope seems like a good name too :D
I know it is late but what did y’all end up name her
Such a beautiful calf. So excited for you guys. We think she looks like a Hazel. 🤗
Hooray! Welcome to the family little one!
Maybe name her Daisy 🌼 like you know "loves me, loves me not" but instead "is she pregnant, is she not" or "will we have this calve today, or will we not" or "will she eat, or will she not" 😅
💗
or Daisie. For Maisie and Dolly :)
@@claram7956 exactly 😅
I agree with you on the name
My thoughts exactly ❤you little one
What about miracle, she is such a beauty and she has survived.
Molly would be a great name!! I'm happy to see she was finally birthed and is healthy after a little concern!
So glad to see that sweet baby born. Like y'all I was worried about her at first with her not eating. So grateful that she started feeding from Mom. I like the name Molly for her. God is so good, she is such a blessing.
You should name the calf Lacey, it sounds nice and it’s kinda fits the little calf since she’s so gentle
For a calf, one problem could be the high solid content of Jersy cow milk for digestion.
I like the name Daisy! She’s so cute! I hope she continues to do well!
You can tube her...sometimes if they won't drink the bottle that can mean they are eating from mom though ....she is just so so precious
I think Blazey will fit her since she's a fighter and didn't give up on trying to feed when when her mom kicked her off
I second this!
I hope her name will be Blazey I always try and name one of their animals but my names never get picked 😔😔😔
@@nikolazdenkowska2678 personally I like Blazy it rhythm with Maisy and Daisy and its true she is a fighter. It's a good name choice
@@ravenghoul1533 thank you that's why I choose it I hope they like it tho
I agree with blazes too @Nikola Zdenkowska
Awww congrats on the newest member, she's beautiful. We just got a hereford heifer and can wait to have our first calf. We've got a ways to wait.
So wonderful to see her thriving after such a tremulous start! I was thinking...with all that red fur, she would make an adorable Pippy, like Pippi (Thanks for the correct sp Carina Kaarli) long stockings. Keep at it guys!! You are an inspiration to us all!
Or Pippi as is the original Swedish name😉
@@carinakaarli4784 I tried that spelling 3 times and it kept autocorrecting it. Sigh.. lol Glad you got the correct spelling out!!
The calf is adorable congrats!🐄🐄❤
Glad the calf made it! Raising animals is a lot of work and unpredictable, but so wonderful to be a part of.
Congratulations to y'all on your new addictions on your farm. Look at all those big bright eye's (the kid's) hope the baby calf get better & stronger , I'm rootin for ya be safe , healthy & happy God Bless much love from Georgia 💚🐮🍁👍
What a journey ! I was so worried when she was on the ground with her head back after not eating but then so relieved to see she finally got it. Little dear. ❤
Journey would be a cute name too
It is exhausting for both mother and babe to be born. I’m delighted she’s up and eating. Congratulations!🎉❤
I was beginning to worry that she was fading, but she didn’t give up! I like the name Molly for her.
Congratulations on the new calf! Rosie could be a good name for her maybe 😊
well done,a lot of work but your boy will love that calf for life regards from durham uk
Maisy + Dolly = Daisy. Lovely little calf. Congratulations
when puppy was born I was watching this video
with my sister she could not have so much joys since my bother was born . I hope she is reaching adult hood and have a baby on her own
My goodness I’ve been waiting to see this calf. I heard you at the end of the last video say calf’s coming out then ….. waiting. So glad to see her she’s adorable. I hope mom and baby get better at feeding. Thank you guys❣️
You're welcome, thank you for the support, Lynn!
@@whitehouseonthehill my pleasure! Thank you!!!
Congratulations! Mariposa is a nice name giving her beginning now she's strong and beautiful
I am so glad the calf survived, I like Clover for a girl cow name, lol
Congratulations to you all, your efforts are appreciated even from over here in the UK ❤
I love Poppy for her. Another suggestion would be Blossom. She is adorable!!
The cow in my photos name is Blossom
I think she’d make a cute Posy- it fits in with your other cow names, and she’s as sweet as a little bunch of flowers
Congratulations on the new calf. We used to make sure the calf was feeding and would even put the cow in a head stall to allow the calf to eat. If, while milking, you tie the cow's legs together she will not be able to kick.

I’ve seen other homesteaders use “Kows Kan’t Kick” bar when milking. They seem to help.
All the choice are great but looking at that coat and seeing her strength, I can see Golden being jet name. Welcome to the family fur baby. ❤
Congratulations! My girls and I were so nervous watching. I'm so happy she is eating now. My girls suggest "Peaches" for the calf. 😊
Beautiful baby girl I know you were watching Dolly threw out the night with the new calf just make sure the calf doesn’t get laid on that’s happened to me a couple times and it’s sad and scary!
Congratulations! I am so glad that after all this time you were able to reproduce the calf. I wish her a lot of progress.🐄🐮
Thanks!
Congrats guys. What a beautiful result. Just like you all she fights on no regardless.
I think Lily would be good name since she was so delicate in the beginning.
Daisy sounds adorable and it rhymes with Maisy
Congratulations on the calf what a journey it was of struggles but now everything’s better 👏❤
That’s so crazy! Momma cow totally loves baby cow. So beautiful. I love burgers so much!
Oh my goodness! She is so adorable! I thought I was going to have to get the box of tissues out! I am so happy she’s doing well! Absolutely wonderful! I like the names Sadie or Cassie for her.
So precious! I think "Daisy" would be good. Then, you'll have a Maisy and a Daisy.
❤
I agree!
I think that Rosie would suit her. she is so beautiful like a rose and as precious
Bonnie would be a lovely name for your gorgeous little calf 🙂
Congratulations 🐂🍼
Yaaaaaay 🐂What a wonderful Blessing 💖🐂🙌 🐂💖
Congratulations! I think she should be called Honey ❤
She looks like a Bertha to Me! Congrats!
How exciting thanks for the video love watching you and your family with animals experiences
Thank you, Donna!
I was thinking of lucky because of how lucky she was
Congrats! I was 99.1% sure it was going to be a girl 😃 So happy to see a healthy calf on the ground.
I really like the name Marigold for the calf
I think you should name her Wennie! I feel like it would fit her perfectly and go with Maysie and Dolly's names great!
I think Vicky would be an adorable name for the calf.
Lilly is also cute.
It never ceases to amaze me that calves are born and within minutes they are standing. Nature is truly amazing.

Nova for November! ❤
Just realized this was October…. Hmmmm how about Hallie for Halloween? She was born close enough, right!? Hehe
Ruby! Because the first thing you said when she was born was about her copper colour😍
I would throw Autumn in the ring for a name. Also, i would suggest making a small list of good names and let Randy make the final decision to appreciate his incredible efforts!
That was Becky’s suggestion 👍🏻

LOVE the way Becky treated Dolly like a spoilt brat telling her to "Quit it!" soooo glad baby calf is finally drinking 🥰
She’s so sweet I’m in love with her!!
For names I was thinking Sadie or Polly
How about Annebelle or Lilly as a name? She’s beyond adorable. Is your other cow pregnant yet?
Miracle ! Since you guys were so worried ab her!
I love the name daisy 🤗🌼
You all so blessed
I feel like sunshine would be a beautiful name for her ☀️ ❤
An adorable beautiful Jersey!

I think a perfect name should be "Hope" for the new calf. Congrats by the way 🥳.
You ned a kick bar for milking. Cutest baby!
BABY COWYY SOO adorable 😍 💕 ❤ 💖 💓 💗
Her name should be lucky because she survived I love your videos
Cute names: Journey (because it was such a journey to get her) or Daisy, because how cute!!!

i love the idea of sticking with all the same letters for dollie's calves... so maybe Moxie, Mabel, Melody, Missy,
it's always scary when calfs and other animals don't eat as newborns but good on you guys for staying vigilant and not giving up on her
Everytime I see your valiant struggles, I wish you lived near Dr.Pol & his team, because they would definitely be able to offer guidance. You must (& sure you did) reach out to your vet asap! Goid luck🙏
Congrats on the calf!! I love Tulip or Willa ❤🌷
I think her name should be Mirabelle she's precious. Good job pressing through with her
Shes so cute love her already.
I think buttercup or hazel would suit her.
so happy for you
Jess from Roots and Refuge has a harness sort of thing that keeps the cow from kicking.
She is like clover of sunshine and luck as she is beautiful her name should be Clover🍀
