    He might.
    Had a calf got well baked Sunday, burnt nose, red round the eyes.
    Plenty of cover in the field but I recon he fell asleep in the sun.

    They usually find the shade but not always, lost one a few years ago the same.

    Calves don't have the sense to stay out of the sun so be careful, I'd keep it in for a few days where it's cooler.

    We had one here who got sunstroke, then went into the shade and got neumonia. He ended up with brain damage and couldn't run. Was a pain to try move him anywhere since he walked so slow and he couldn't grasp the idea of following a fence to a gate or gap.

    Our last one was born outside but loads of shade in the edges. Of course mother was too thick to hide him there so I took evasive action :pac:
    He's fine now but def wouldn't have another born out, just make sure it's not stifling inside either.

    Jesus I think there should be a lady haywire appreciation thread. Some classic pictures of a lot of different things and all of them serving a purpose. Why didn't you do that Snapchat story in summertime. I would definently be eyes glued to it. Keep up the great work lady. Your doin leitrim proud

    No....no you're definitely better off without one of those :pac:
    I just never took to snapchat, found it a bit weird, almost intrusive or something. Or maybe i'm just past it! Twitter is about as close as i'll get to it.
