[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1735995, member: 9096"] Been a busy week here! Coda had a big strong bull calf on Sunday, he had no problem keeping up with momma [ATTACH type="full"]13876[/ATTACH] Then yesterday I bought Kama (9 year old cow) that I induced the night before with Dex (she has some vaginal prolapse issues and inducing fixes that), and Mushy, a first timer that was wider than she was tall.. she'd never been on a halter before so I had a bit of a rodeo... Come 6pm and both of them are starting to calf, in the POURING rain.. Mushy was first, she needed a good pull, big heifer calf from a small momma.. she had ZERO clue of what to do with this "thing" in front of her, but Kama really wanted to help out, she totally cleaned the calf off, licked momma, licked me... I figured if Mushy isn't going to do the calf cleaning I might as well let Kama do it. Got Mushy and her calf (I'm calling her Soggy because it works with momma's name and with the weather) into the maternity pen, as much as Mushy had no clue what to do with the calf, she did stand perfectly still for the calf to nurse, didn't even lift a foot Here's the current view of them (All my first timers are done.. YAY!!) [ATTACH type="full"]13877[/ATTACH] Finally Kama got down to business and had her own, nice bull calf, strong and determined, he's been up and playing this morning already, Moved them with the other cows and he was BAWLING for momma that was right beside him.. this went on for a good hour or two..
