Old timers in this area called each other cowpunchers, but no offense taken.

Whoever that guy is I would stay clear away, what a joke, man should be in prison. That kind of person makes my blood boil.

I'd tube that sucker with colostrum, no reasons to take chances. That's being a caretaker, he's probably run down already.

Haven't had Herefords since I was a kid, bought 15 four year olds last fall, they have all calved, great mothers and so gentile to be around. I always remember when I was a kid Herefords were a little smaller and prone to a few problems, but these are nice long gentle cows, the fella I brought...

Yes she is drinking and eating, her manure looks dry, so I did some checking to make sure it wasn't dehydration, she might be a bit dehydrated but not a lot. Vet coming tomorrow AM.

Been at this a long time and have never seen this before. First calf heifer that is probably a week away from calving. I noticed her laying down and looking sick, I made her get up and she stumbled about like me after 6 Coors. Now I have her locked up, she is still stumbling a bit and foaming at...

I was wondering how long you guys wait before you decide to pull calves. I think I pull the trigger to quickly much of the time. And I guess some depends on the cow or heifer.

Hey fella's calving in late Feb and March is a good idea in southern Iowa, this year is certainly a pain, but I have still had more problems with mud than cold. :cboy:
