I had a nice bull calf born this morning it was up and walking around when I left for work but when I got home the buzzards had ate a hole in his back end and I had to shoot him. Probably not the last thing I shot today.

Yeah that black one is out of the other angus heifer I bought he is sure growing and is just 2 weeks old. They were bred to an angus bull. Thanks for the compliment Daymon

here are a couple of pics

Thanks I knew there would be a learning curve but this was a lot real fast. I am lucky to have some friends that are pretty experienced with cattle and don't mind to come and rope a prolapsed cow at 2 in the morning.

Well I finished my first calving season yesterday. I bought 10 bred older cows and 2 bred heifers last November. I had my first calf Christmas eve and my last on March 6th I sold 3 cows that were open made a few dollars on them, had one calf die during birth then the momma slipped down on ice...

Well I went back out last night and she went right into the barn. Also one of my cows had twins last night and only took one of them. I brought the other one to the barn and she took it without me having to put her in the chute or anything. Went back this morning and the little calf jumped up...

Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement. I have been keeping an eye on her and she is up most of the time she has layed down and got back up on her own. She looks a little rough and is still a little unsteady on her backend. I tried to get her in the barn out of the snow but she...

I got her up with the hotshot didn't take much she is still a little wobbly but seems to be getting better. I put her some water there were she is standing and am going to give her a little grain. Hopefully she will pull through. I am just sick and mad at my self for not being there. Hard...

Well bad news she had her calf last night but it only had one front foot come out and died I pulled it at daylight this morning. When I checked her last night at around 11 pm she didn't show any signs of labor and then at 6:30 this morning she was laying there with a calf part of the way out...

Well I had another calf on the Jan. 5th, could have been the 4th and she had it hid. I feel a little silly because the cow I started this thread about still has yet to calve, she is the one I started the prolapse thread about. Anyway I am thankfull for the advice and am learning alot from this...

Just to update the cow seems to be doing fine, I am keeping her in the pen by the chute just in case. I think her bag is starting to fill some more the last couple of days. I have saw a little pinkish discharge a couple of times but she is always either eating hay or laying down chewing her...

She is safe and in a pen at my friends place we got a rope on her and pulled her into the trailer in the middle of the field. She let us get closer to her in the dark. We cleaned the prolapsed tissue with warm soapy water coated it with sugar and pushed it back in we are going to watch an see...

Thanks for the advice. I am going to call around about the dart gun in the morning. I wouldn't really shoot her it's not her fault. I think if we can get the dart gun I will load her and take her to a friend of mines barn he is an order buyer so he has great facilities he said I can keep her...

That's what I was thinking I would rather have the calf than her so just shoot her :D

I am sure it isn't the water sac. We tried all day today to get her up and still no luck. She is not interested in coming up with the others to feed and when you try to walk her she just bolts and it dosn't matter who is in the way she goes to the woods. We even tried to rope her but she...

I have a cow that is due to calf anytime and this morning I noticed her vagina has prolapsed it is sticking out about 8 inches and is about 4 or 6 inches around. I tryed a couple of times to get her up but she will not come into the corral she bolts and is very nervous which is unusual as she...

Thanks those are the two pics I was trying to post. First attempt at pic posting.

[/url][/img][/url][/img] I finally had a calf, funny thing is it was from a different cow than I started this post about. Oh well nothing like a little experience to help you learn. Now waiting on the other cow she still looks like she could calve any time.

Again thank you all for the responses and sharing your experiences I am pretty sure she didn't have her calf yet I just saw the mucas plug come out and notice her bag was fuller and was too exited. I don't have alot of patience and I constantly worry about things, so I am having to learn to be...

Well I may have been too anxious the other day I haven't had any luck finding the calf and this morning I went to check her and she was laying down with a couple of my other cows when they got up she couldn't walk very well with her back legs and she had alot of clear discharge hanging off her...
