[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1312691, member: 24027"] Here's my feel-good story for the day: Last year my 2014 bottle baby was a 1st calf heifer & had a uterine prolapse in the middle of the night. Fortunately I had just gone down to check, the vet was here within 30 minutes & she had a complete recovery (and also raised a very nice calf). There's always the possibility of problems breeding back after a uterine prolapse (if the cow even survives) but she settled the 2nd day after we turned out the bulls & it took her all of 20 minutes of labor to pop out a beautiful heifer - at 2:00 this morning. Yay! Additionally, I knew one of my fave 2010 cows was going to calve last night because she does the same thing every year: leaves the herd & comes up by the house, waiting for me to notice her. I give her extra cubes & she calves in the same place, about 30 yards from the house. And every year her mama (who's now 9) will find her, check out her new grandchild & hang with her progeny for most of the day. Always amazes me. Happy Spring calving, CT board! [/QUOTE]
