I always take one off after a couple of weeks or when I need a graft. I used to leave both on the cow but it seemed like then the cow would breed back late or be open. Not sure why though.

I would have preferred 2 heifers since I like the cow but I'll take a spare calf any day. When I pull a calf I have a bucket close by and collect the amniotic fluid in case I pull a dead one. Just pour it on a different calf. It's funny to watch a cow chasing a 2 week old calf thinking it's her...

Turns out one of them had a sex change :shock:! I double checked and it's a bull and a heifer

Both are male

I got lucky saw her walking over a hill in the distance 30 seconds later she was out of sight. If I hadn't spotted her I'm sure I would have lost both calves. Had them sleeping inside my house, first time for everything :lol2:!

Well she had twins!! I was up till 2:30 am had to bring them inside had a windchill of -35 but looks like they are both gonna survive!

Also her here stomach is massive so I don't think she aborted already

I found a cow about a mile away from the rest of the heard, that where eating the hay I gave them a couple of hours earlier. Was in the middle of a field with nothing but snow. When I got close I saw some mucus with some blood in it on her. My cows should start calving march 21st so it would be...

Did you get a pic of the calf? I've never seen one with 2 heads

The exposed bones by the head are actually the jaw bones, if you zoom in enough you can see teeth. I agree Jeanne next time I see blood I won't wait until the next day to check her. In this case though it wouldn't have made a big difference. She may not have been dilated enough to pull the calf...

Not really sure since I've never had this before. But it looked like the head was deformed. Plus the whole thing was about 8 feet long. she was due in about 2 weeks if the bull got her the first day. Should I still try to graft a calf on the heifer and breed her again or is it a better idea to...

Yeah while I was pulling it I was still ok, adrenalin I guess. But when I was cleaning up later I had to stop several times! I hope I never have to do that again

Good tip seems like everything smells like it now haha. I took a pic of the calf but not sure I wanna post it don't wanna make people sell their cows haha.

I saw a bred heifer yesterday with a little blood on her tail, so i put her in the pen so i could keep an eye on her she was calm and went straight for the feed. This morning I went to check her and she had her tail up and back arched. She looked like any other heifer when they start calving. So...
