I am new to this board so please bear with me if I dont post correctly.
We have a small farm. 21 cows my husband had originally intended to buy babies and raise them out to sell. Well A bull made it to our pasture and we had five heifers pregnant. The bull was apparently a beefalo from the looks and size of the babies. The first one lost her baby and was down for a week but five cortizone shots and lots of work she was up walking in a week. she still has trouble with her hoofs bending but she seems to have it under control.The vet showed me to grab her tail when she got up and help steady her. We just had one more thursday we pulled her baby and her baby lived. She is down and we are doing the same for her. She is walking a little but not good yet. She will spin and go down. We pulled the third cows baby out on friday momma and baby were doing fine. NOW its sunday all three of the cows are suffering from very wet dark brownish green diareah and the cow that just went down is grinding her teeth not eating and not trying to stand anymore. Also I dont think the last cow lost the after birth. I am having the vet come by tomorrow or next day we have only one vet that works on farm animals in the area os pinpointing a time is tough if there is somthing I can do now to help them I would appreciate the info. It seems when it rains it pours. I was so glad to find this forum.
