[QUOTE="3G-A-farm, post: 574519, member: 5518"] Hello and Good evening. I apologize for not posting results earlier. It was a busy weekend, between farm and my regular job. Anyway, the calf is doing real well. Just amazing how tough of an animal they are. The cow is doing ok, but she was having nothing to do with her baby. After several hours of trying I gave up. I have no desire to be run over by an irritated cow. So she is on the clock. Once she gets back to her normal self and is doing ok...she leaves the premises. The calf will end up staying. We have the cows as a hobby so to speak. I just ask that they basically pay their own way. I do cull animals for no calves, bad feet, and definitely bad disposition. I enjoy coming home from a typical crappy day at my regular job and spending the evening with them. Then by the time I come in for supper my attitude has changed drastically... I will keep you up to date on the calf's progress. I sincerely thank all of you for the help and insight. As I said previously, I read these boards everyday..just don't post much as I am just a "hobby" farmer. In closing, my dad is 78 years old, been around a farm most of his life. It was the first time he had seen a c-section on a cow. One week later and he still talks in amazement of what he witnessed. Best to everyone...Bill [/QUOTE]
