Well we got the cow to let the calf nurse, so maybe she will start to accept it. Time will tell!

Update, c-section over, live single heifer calf, cow won't take it. Yea! So had tubed colostrum and trying to get momma cow with the program. This is her 4th calf so since section, guess she figures she hasn't given birth yet. Stupid cows! :devil2: oh ruptured tendon, no hydrops.

Says it does not exist, with pic of cow? I pad

Well vet just called again, now c section moved to Saturday. They think they can have cow live at least to start to raise calf, again depending on milk production etc, d/t edema then ship her but again they are not sure til they cut and see and get calf or twins out. Today her cervix was so low...

Torn Prepubic tendon, c section tomorrow! Yea! :shock:

Great cow, wow really like her! :clap:

Well she is still up and moving, osu thinks twins and not hydrops, our vet coming out tomorrow. May have to watch for Prepubic tendon rupture during delivery, will see what out vet says.

Thanks for replies, calling vet in am. Has artery pulse still so babie/twin may still be viable.

Thanks Chris, took the iPad out with milkmaids pic of hydrops and sure enough she unfortunately looks just like it! Yea! So will have vet out, would like to wait til Thursday, warmer here than, and I guess see what happens. she is not due til 18th. What are the odds babies alive? Or even if...

Wouldn't there be some kind of symptoms with that, she acts fine, did a search on it, didn't say much. Just have never seen anything similar to this, she has always been wide and deep but but not like this.

Concerned, have a cow that is due in about 10 days, in front of her udders she is so low to ground, solid, sign of twins? Never had any of thoses and really don't want them. Any ideas? She is huge and from hooks to pins now looks thin, before didn't. :help:

Here is a thought, breed her to a shorthorn! :nod:

or easy keeper d/t not being fed much equals low weight? Who knows?

First , it's shorthorn, one word! They are usually docil and fairly calm. Yours sounds too light at that age, should be heavier so worming and groceries good idea. Unless you got lucky they can be lacking in the hind end but still butcher well if fed good. Have fun! :roll: We enjoy them!

Nice soggy bulls M :idea: :clap:

Would like to see a pic of heifer that was clipped with head up. What bulls are you using? I like them good functional heard!

You also need to consider the other kids in the ring, one nasty steer can cause a lot of trouble for the other kids as well, ex; getting loose, hoping on other steers etc. Not a good idea, keep him home and eat him. Start fresh next year! I have seen other show kids get hurt by someone else's...

Dun, we use the normal fly rub with face strips, where did you get the mop? I was looking and can't find.

Dun, what type of fly spray or kind do you use in your mop?

No, if you do expose her to ring worm, you may not be able to get rid of it by show! :roll:
