11. Yay!

12. Sounds like a good plan.

13. Good work! Good On Yah!

14. So interesting. I absolutely love your channel. Thanks!

15. Man what a great way to Break down and explain how a digestive system works in a calf and what the nutrition values need to be at certain ages we raise 25 head of Angus Shirley cross. And I could not have broken that down to explain to anyone any better than you did! You would make a good college professor! Or ag teacher

16. I have Hereford bull calve that is the same way as peanut. I could never get him to eat any calf Starter or sweet feed. After 3 months I let him out to pasture with the other cows calves and just bottle feed him in the field for another month. He developed the grass belly over time. He has had the seizures 4 or 5 times almost like he is malnourished, each time we bring him to the barn and nurse him back to health.He is a year old and about half size can you do anything to help the grass belly this late..

17. I hope that your videos start getting shown in schools to students, just like the Millennial Farmer videos have been shown to many students in schools.

    You are such a great teacher, and a great promotor of agriculture.

18. Wow! Sorry Peanut isn’t well but this is a great science lesson.

19. Great video!

20. Pete, glad to hear Peanut is doing better. Long time listener first time caller here. I recently started fencing some of my family's property and picked up 6 dexter cattle a couple months back, all of which are horned. I'm looking into a headgate/cattle chute and have wondered about yours for a while now. Is it more difficult to get your horned cattle in your headgate or do they manage just fine and I'm over thinking this? Perhaps a video on uses for it? I made it through your book in just a few days, good read.

21. Thanks Pete!

22. Cocci is unfortunately pretty common in the springtime.

23. Idk pete, I worked on dairy farms in my teen years and now at middle age I still have an affection for cattle, but somehow it threw me for a loop when you dug into the feces barehanded. Made me laugh. Then I remembered being covered in manure from milking in tie stalls, shovelling gutters, and cleaning pens. Not the grossest thing I guess.

24. Another Very informative Vlog Pete & Hillary… GREAT JOB with Peanut…
    GBY BOTH ALWAYS 🙏❤️💙🤗✝️

25. I'm so glad little Peanut is doing better. She's a beautiful little girl!

26. Also the cold weather is extremely hard on small calves that are not on their mother milk. In cold weather they burn more energy than they’re taking in that can also cause malnutrition. When I was a kid I used to raise small calves on the bottle and it was a lot of hard work.

27. Hey Pete, I was just watching Manifest on Netflix and you look so much like the father Malachy Cleary.

28. Thanks Pete. I needed to hear this. I’ve got a little one with no mother.

29. Thank you Pete, I really enjoy this type of content

30. Poor peanut hope that she gets better poor thing! I look forward to updates

31. A true Farmer! 🐄🚜🌾

32. U r one smart man Pete the thing is u have a lot of common sense to go with to one smart man great videos Pete

33. Thanks for this video and for the research you put into it. I've been dealing with this in a bottle calf that I have been weaning. It seems to eat plenty of hay so I assumed it was doing fine, but definitely had a very bloated look to it (but both sides of the body). I have been supplementing with calf starter and that has seemed to help even things out.

34. Always learn something interesting watching your videos Mr. Pete. Something I've always heard (cows' 4 stomachs) but never really looked into. Thanks for the infor-tainment.

35. Peanut is a very cute calf.

36. That is a pretty big explanation Pete. I love it when you talk in-depth about farm life. When I raised bottle calves, we would introduce the calf starter grain around 2 weeks. We would start with a couple of handfuls at a time and put it in there mouth. Buy the time they were 1 month old, they would actually be eating by themselves. The reason why we did this was so we could wean them at 2 months.

37. i am happy you were able to nurse peanut back to health Pete….you done good!!!

38. I always enjoy the lessons. Thank You and Get Well Soon Peanut!

39. A good explanation and observation of the calf and it's health. Pete I read the article on you and your farm in the Grit mag. I've been following your story for a while now and love the way you explain your every day chores.

40. Awesome video Pete. Thanks always learning from you. God bless ❤.

41. thank you for taking the time to explain it great video

42. Thanks again Pete.My son James-Ray and I always enjoy your videos.We will soon have a small farm ourselves and will always look for information from your channel.Keep up your great work.Cheers.Jim and James-Ray in Australia.

43. They don't call it nature's plan for nothin.

44. Pete, a erudite explanation of Peanut’s issue. Love the way you problem-solved for a better win-win solution for the young calf. Will follow with interest Peanut’s progress. Thank you.
