[QUOTE="cowgirl_up_47, post: 622593, member: 7976"] We had our first C-Section calf last night. The mom was a first calf heifer and wasn't supposed to be bred yet. The calf was pretty big, too. (we're thinking about 90 pounds.) The vet came out and tried to pull it, but it was too big. We got the cow up and hauled her to the clinic and they did a c-section. Luckily, it was a heifer calf, we were all thinking it was a bull. They both stayed over-night at the vet's. The cow still wasn't up this morning, so they tubed the calf with colostrum. They cow doesn't have much milk, either. We picked the calf up, and left the cow there. They said maybe we should tube her, instead of bottle feed, so she'll take to the mom better later... Any advice on this? I would rather bottle feed than tube her. Any advice on feeding, and how often? I took pictures during the C-Section and will try to post some later. [/QUOTE]
