I made a post last month in the beginners board I had my almost 3 year old simmental bull mount a 4 month old calf she eventually went down but she doesn't appear to have been hurt by it. I watched her close for the next few days and she was fine, here we are almost a month later and she's still...

I bought the bull last year at about 15 months old he covered all the cows I had and the three heifers. The rest of his calves from the others had decent BW and all went unassisted. They all received the same nutrition hay, grass, and the occasional treat of grain or cubes just to keep them used...

I haven't been back online since my last update I spent several hours messing with this heifer, unfortunately we lost the calf but the heifer is doing fine and I think she will be ok. The calf was breach and he was BIG!! I rushed home and got the heifer up to the chute and called the vet. Time...

Not much has changed she is exhibiting the same behavior she'll lay day for a bit then get up, she will push or strain like the above picture once or twice for about 30 seconds then she goes back either grazing or laying down. I assume all is good still?? This heifer is special she was a bottle...

She will hunch up like that for a minute then she'll go back to normal for a bit that's why I wasn't sure if she was just having contractions or if she is in full blown labor. I plan on leaving work soon to go keep an eye on her just didn't know how serious the situation was. I read some...

I have a heifer that appears to be in labor how long should I let this go on before intervention is needed? I knew she has been getting close to calving so I've been keeping an eye on her, this morning I went out to check her before I left for my day job. She was in the corner of the pasture...

I had a lot better calving season this year :) just wanted to end on a good note but that's how it goes. Best of luck hope your last one goes without issue.

Well my last heifer finally calved last night, I knew she was close and with storms rolling in I figured that would be the case. She was the last one in my heard to calve and I've been anxiously awaiting this day, unfortunately things didn't go so good :( I kept an eye on her most of the day...

I had to laugh when I read this, we just went through our first calving season. I spent every bit of an hour searching for a new born calf in a 12 acre field one day. It's got one ditch that had some brush in it but other than that it was pretty much open, I finally gave up and just figured the...

We had a lot of help from family that are seasoned cattle farmers, I believe everything was handled correctly just had some extremely bad luck. The cows were bought in a large group I then picked mine out of the group and family took the rest. Overall considering the amount that was purchashed...

You know that has crossed my mind..... :shock:

Yeah after going back and reading that it’s hard to follow. First heifer had her calf unassisted in the middle of the night, when they were checked early that next morning she had cleaned the calf off and it looked otherwise good but it was dead not sure what happened. Next two were watched...

Picture of the 4 bred heifers we bought to expand our herd, this was our first experience with first calf heifers..... Didn't work out quite like we planned but I guess that's part of it. We only ended up with one calf that survived of the four bit of a rough start. Might go back to buying bred...

Sounds like I am not the only one with bad luck to start the year off, decided to expand our herd bought a real nice set of bred heifers due to calve February 8th. First one went Saturday sometime in the early morning hours cleaned her off and everything, not sure if it was still born or...
