[QUOTE="BAGTIC, post: 351901, member: 3757"] Probably not he same thing but... I am a newbie. We had our first calf on the 18th. Cow gave birth and [b]could not [/b]get up, wouldn't even raise her head. After about 45-60 minutes I went to a neigbor and asked if he could come and look. He did and he told us to turn her around . She had laid down on a gentle slope with her feet uphill about 8-10 inches higher than her head. He, I, and my wife grabbed her neck and hind legs and turned her 180 degrees until her feet were lower than her head. She jumped up so fast we didn't have time to let go before she was up. Within a minute she was cleaning the calf and the little heifer was nursing. Was talking to someone about it yesterday and he told me that he has lost two cows like that. He said they got down and couldn't get up and they bloated and died before he even knew they were in trouble. [/QUOTE]
