Trying to throw a ray of sunshine here. You may remember my freaking awesome new heifer bull that got struck by lightning after having him all of 3 weeks? Only other bull my breeder had left was Woody. Definitely not a heifer bull and let's face it, not "front pasture" in looks, EPD's more...

Personally, I wouldn't try to abort that late in gestation. You'll most likely end up with a preemie. You said it was a cow, so assuming she's already been bred & calved successfully in the past? I use Lutalyse on all my heifers at weaning after pulling the bulls a good 6 weeks prior but Lute...

That's more than just a hard pill to swallow! Dang, I'm sorry to hear that. Sure hope you get restitution but that doesn't account for all the time, resources and anguish.

It was time to end it. She hadn't moved from where she was yesterday afternoon and only nibbled at her cubes, didn't touch the brome. Still perky when I was with her but clearly not good. Honestly, I'm relieved. She was a great cow that's given me 8 calves and earned the right to be buried...

On the rare occasion Seltzer doesn't finish a bottle, Fizzy laps it up! At least it doesn't go to waste.:ROFLMAO:

Bump!

Happy Father's Day! Some of the kids came down yesterday, left today. My bad, I did hand over the keys to the Vic for them to go booze cruising the back roads. Hopefully son in law lands a plane better than he parks! But all good. Mr TC has talked to all the other kids (in Michigan), no...

So, hard pull? And then she prolapsed? Double whammy. Glad you were there to help her out, get her put back in place.

Definitely still has game but I can see the uneven gait.

Dang, I'm seriously reconsidering selling Fizzy at weaning. The teat I treated for mastitis has milk and sometimes it's noticeably smaller, but they just don't love it. Still giving Seltzer a bottle morning and night but she probably doesn't need it; Fizzy is doing an amazing job on...

Couldn't watch without signing into some age restriction (that ship has sailed!). But hardware is why all my cows, bulls and retained heifers get a magnet. That said, I've still lost a few to "hardware", thanks to booze cruisers that toss their beer bottles in my pastures, a sharp piece of...

Welcome back!!!

No burger. Without her standing (that I know of), getting her out will be in the bucket of the track loader and subsequently to the "graveyard".

I wish. Showed the "dog sitting" pic to my vet yesterday and the cringe on her face spoke volumes, even before she said that's not good. But if she still has the will to fight and live, I'll fight right along with her. Within reason. I'm up for hauling water, cubes, hay and scooping out poop...

Oh dang, that sucks! Yes, it's possible with confinement and a lot of TLC for SOME of them to recover, but is that the logical thing to do? In my case, no. I had to sell an awesome 3-year-old bull that stifled, so I feel your pain. My cow is still eating, drinking, moving, alert. But still...
