Never said I didn't have one. She just wasn't in it, and wasn't willing to let me alone put her there. Regolith it looked like just a tear in the abdomen, but may have been. The calf was early, she was due first of april.

Yeah I left out the part about me having my foot already in a cast during all of this. I intended to wrap a tree when I past one. She evidently knew that, cause she headed for the briers instead. A 40 year old tied to a cow skiing through the briers on a cast, now thats a video. :D Now that...

Do realize I had 2 local cattlemen come over before I posted here. One said wait 8 hours, the other actually rode down with me to check her. He said awww she looks fine leave her till morning and she will have had it. Well he was half right. His last words before he left were "Just so you know...

Immediately after the calf pulled out it seemed like 10 gals of fluid, membrane like part of the sack , and I think maybe some intestine from the calf came out(it's abdomen stretched open). Several small amounts of fluid after that, nothing since. How would she be treated for that if not ? I do...

She finally laid down in the thicket about 11PM and I eased up and roped her. After dragging several bushes and everything else she could wrap me and that rope around I left and came back at daylight to find the dead calf hanging out of her. With help we roped and held her while I pulled the...

I was afraid you were going to say that. Off to the thicket with a rope.

We have a cow calving, having her 2nd calf, and her water broke about 1:30pm. It is 7pm now. Since then we have seen nothing. She is having regular contractions, still up and moving, but no calf parts have shown. How long before I need to intervene.

New bag of milk replacer. So far today it's all firm. He is ripping and running and very active today. Maybe it has passed. If it starts again I'm getting some and heading to get it checked. His apatite seems to be in overdrive now too. He is no longer happy with his bottle and bawling for more...

From what I've read here, I had the impression that when the loose stool started it would continue untill the bout was over. Thats the way I remember it from being around it years ago. He will run like a faucet for a while then stop, and that evening it's back normal. Next morning still good...

I guess my question really is am I being over cautious. With little experience, I don't want to wait till things get out of hand.

I've searched and read, but haven't really found a good answer. For me anyway. The story I got when I bought the calf. The cow had twins. The first calf sucked while she had the second calf, and then she kicked the first calf off and rejected it. He watched for 2 hours and then took the calf...
