[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 1592991, member: 5507"] Our son's cow, Fiona, has had udder problems with the last two calves. She developed severe mastitis and a fever on Monday. We did what we could and our local vet gave us some antibiotics, but she spiked a fever again, so I loaded her and her two month old calf in the trailer and took them to the vet hospital. It's a teaching hospital that is cheaper than our local vet, if you take them in because they want patients for their students to learn on. Anyway, she is already better. They are trying to work with us for a cheaper mastectomy. This old cow is worth it to us. Maybe some of you guys might laugh at us, but that's alright because we really like this old cow. We have enough money we made from reducing the herd down to three cows. She is the Nativity cow that all the kids love to hug on. She leads and loads better than most people's horses, and she has given us a lot of good steers over the years. Her last calf is a beautiful heifer with her easy-going temperament and, hopefully, the sire's dam's udder, lol! If not, I could probably train the baby to be a draft animal. [/QUOTE]
