[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 629696, member: 6198"] We do not start for another 4 weeks. On Sunday hubby went out to feed the cows. One did not come home for grain. The previous night he has a bad cow dream. Then over the barn flew a raven with something blood red. So out to the lone cow he went. Here she premature calved. Teeth just starting to break the surface. On the small side but still 4 weeks to go at least. Our attitude was one of disapointment but then the thought so often spoke of here "if you have livestock, you'll have deadstock. So we put it into perspective. Figured if another aborted the vet would be called. Hubby has been watching her daily since Sunday. Yes she cleaned, she was in the process when he took the calf away. Yesterday he thought she looked a bit off, but thought maybe it was just him. I mean he figured she was coming home for grain daily, drinking water, eating so...So he waited another day. Sure enough the weight loss is starting to show now, tail crooked a little wobbly on the feet and pee odd color and she has not tightened up the fiddle string around the tail bone. Still eating. Got her chuted up, gloved up, no twin, no placenta, but stinkyand liquidy, milk there but no mastitis. Temp 39.2 C A call into the vet awaiting a call back... ...not a good start to the season which should not be starting yet... did i mention i had a bad cow dream the other night, an abortion storm hit...good thing it was just a dream...or nightmare [/QUOTE]
