So. I think I got a calf to graft on my heifer that lost her baby.
Shes still partly retaining.
My thoughts are to get her in the chute, get this calf a nursing.
Now the real question....
I hear to leave a retained placenta alone now a days.
But would it be prudent to maybe pull some out and get it on this graft calf??
Or should i just feel around a bit and rub what I can by hand on the calf?
I dont want to pull the placenta if it will cause problems.
The last one, I got lucky.
Mama shed the placenta, and I already had a calf. Just put that placenta on the calf and it was grafted. Easy as that..
