[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15557"] This is post facto reply after reading all the others. Black cow? Angus? Anyway, had a slightly similar experience with one of my Longhorns last year...had a sudden cold, sleet morning, noticed one of my cows had calved about 1/2 hour earlier...others standing around, mother licking slightly wet and lifeless calf. We picked it up promptly, took into house, warmed it up till it was wanting to run around in about 30 min. or so. Took it back to mama and she immediately accepted it and it started nursing shortly after. Moral to this story...when you discover a new calf that is cold, immediately warm it up. Other moral...when cow is expected to calve, on bad weather period, watch her every few hours to monitor birth progress. Act promptly as needed. Incidentally, Longhorns, expecially the quality registered ones, have "bad" traits culled out and above that, Longhorn Cows are excellent milkers, mothers, AND, Longhorns are great predator controllers...they will keep coyotes, dogs, wolves, cats, and others away.... :) [email=info@runningarrowfarm.com]info@runningarrowfarm.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
