[QUOTE="regolith, post: 916115, member: 9267"] had a 'day like that' and for much the same reason. My cows are out there with no water, because the person in control of the water system doesn't see the troughs being empty a problem, or do anything about it. And then I called three times through the evening trying to contact the local pump servicing people and the on-call guy was supposedly paged to call me back urgently each time. He tells me only the third message reached him. I found both the cows and the calves already distressed nearly four hours earlier. Now I just wish it would rain heavy like it's supposed to because there isn't anywhere I can put them to get water... the creeks are dry. That poor cow... and this is why some of us don't even consider asking for help/employing help because what seems easy or important just isn't to someone else. The usual guidelines for when to assist a calf should have been enough in this case, regardless of her illness. [/QUOTE]
