[QUOTE="Farm Family, post: 1798585, member: 43070"] Sorry to hear about her dam…we lost a ”younger” cow to a heart attack or aneurysm last year. We were shocked as she was due for a heat and had beautiful mucus. So we were keeping a close eye to see when she would stand etc. Within two hours a healthy, chewing cud, cow was peacefully dead in a sleeping position. I say “younger” she was 8 and had given us 4 sets of twins in a row and looked as healthy as could be. Last year her set was the first I separated and grafted one to a mama who lost hers three days before. I felt fortunate I was left with only one orphan to deal with. He was three months old, would not steal so weaned him onto grain like a dairy calf and he made it to sale. I have seen prolapsed cows continue to do great things but it usually is a “time to go” for us, sadly - I truly hope this girl is one of those that can stay on the farm. 😊 Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
