[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 63420, member: 968"] Call the VET! The price of a vet is nothing compared to the value of your cow. Something is wrong. She should not be down. Not very likely with beef cattle, but she could have milk fever. There are a number of things that could go wrong. Even if she is FINE, let a vet tell you that. I understand that you are new at this and you don't want to be calling a vet over nothing. Have you TRIED to MAKE her get up - twist her tail, slap her butt?? Does she struggle? Have you taken her temperature? The longer she is down, the harder it will be to get her up. Unless she CAN'T get up, (milk fever - paralized legs - hurt back), if she was going into labor it is not very likely that she would let you poke her bellie. They are usually nervous, unless she is a pet with you. Good luck, let us know what happens. [/QUOTE]
