[QUOTE="DavisBeefmasters, post: 512382, member: 2263"] According to the lastest batch of "drive-by lookie loo's", I'm apparently supposed to be out there 100% of the time!!! We had a 7 year old cow go into labor on Sunday morning, water bag out at 8:00 a.m. -- hubby and I were out walking fence lines preparing them to begin the pasture rotation for the year. At 9:00 a.m. upon getting back up to the house we had a note from Animal Control, a message on the machine from Animal Control stating that they're getting calls from the sheriff's department and we had an animal in distress, they had the authority to dispatch an emergency vet, etc. etc. I kindly returned the call (as hubby advised he should not call this animal control officer back). I advised Mr. "You will respect my authority" that the cow was in labor, water bag just presented at 8 a.m., the check at 9:00 a.m. showed the water just broke so that we would check on her again in about an hour... blah, blah, blah... he was in our driveway within 15 minutes so we got to go through the scenario again on why this was NOT an emergency situation... nice, gung-ho young man Well guess what, in an hour... no progress, none, no hoofs, no nothing, got her up to the vet pen, down the alley into the squeeze and we now have a nice little bull calf running around... cow was fully dilated, calf was in good position but not perfect he was a little bit turned so that the legs weren't straight down, I want to say he was about 30 degrees off counter-clockwise from a text-book, picture perfect position. Different strokes for different folks... I guess I will not be having the spring cows in that particular pasture next year so it isn't so visible from the street :) [/QUOTE]
