Hi Everyone, here we go again. This has not been a good calving season this year at all.
We checked the herd the other day, and found a cow down, with a dead calf behind her.
She hasen't gotten up since, we have been proping her up, giving her water, she ate a little hay last evening. Question is, does anyone think she will ever get up, or should we put her down. We are always optamistic hoping she will make it through, but can't get ahold of a vet over the weekend, so looking to you guys for input. She can move both back legs, but could she have broken her back or something? Waiting for reponses. She has been down for approx 72 hours. This was her first calf. Thanks
