[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 593413, member: 1744"] Barometer drops and bad things happen...storm moved in and then.... Just may loose my first live born calf, but won't give up easily! Big Angus cow calved last Dec 30th...bull running with cows so no idea of exact breeding date but was thinking 45 days later. This afternoon I noticed the cow with afterbirth hanging...went and found a cleaned little heifer cold and just barely hanging on so I brought her into the barn. Fresh straw, warn towels and heat lamps. Gave her 1/2 cc each of Se & E and A & D and did get about a pint of replacer in her, no colostrun in the freezer and the cow isn't in full bag besides milking her would be a real rodeo. Still to weak to barely move so it will be a long road to get her up and going. Expect to spend the night in the barn on calf watch, even though there is not much I can do at this point. Figure that she is four to six weeks early so the deck is stacked against her, the cow just started bagging up and showed no signs of labor this morning. Calf is fully formed but teeth are not present and is pretty scrawney all of about 45 or 50 leggy pounds of her. Never lost a live born calf before, and don't plan on loosing this one...another retirement project. And that's my two bits from up here today. Dave Mc [/QUOTE]
