[QUOTE="got_cows?, post: 235137, member: 2473"] Anyone ever have a blown vaginal wall on a cow or heifer? Had a first calf heifer that we ended up pulling her 110 lb. calf. Right after we pulled him she had a glob of fat that came out after the calf. Couple hours later her cleanings were hanging down but she had a fist sized piece of bumpy flesh hanging out too. Vet came out the next morning and sewed her up, cut off the piece of flesh and said she'd be good to go after a round of antibiotics. He explained that there was so much pressure from the calf that the fat had no where to go so it blew a hole in her vaginal wall. My FIL in all his years of dairy and beef farming had never seen such a thing. Wouldn't you know it? I was going to get a pic but when the vet was out I had another cow that had been laboring for a while so when the vet finished up with the first cow I asked if he could check the progress of the laboring cow. Sure enough the calf was upside down. He flipped the calf and pulled it. Only one service call and two cows!! Made my day. :lol: [/QUOTE]
