[QUOTE="Dee, post: 78894, member: 350"] What Caustic said is the biggest, hardest lesson I had to learn in a short hurry when I first got cattle. Sometimes, no matter what you do, you will lose a calf. It angers me beyond belief, when I give them almost 3 acres of nice straw bedding, and they jump the fence, go to the dug out and have their calf head first in the water. I had never directed foul language towords an animal, untill my first calving season. :oops: Over all, those calves are pretty flexible. Had one last year, had all but the hips of the calf out, stood up, and swung her butt back and forth till it slipped out. Unique form! Hit the ground with a good thud, and put it's head up and shook the slime from his head. Hang in there! Strange things happen sometimes that we can't always explain. [/QUOTE]
