[QUOTE="mcdowedd, post: 339342, member: 2416"] It has now been 24 hours since we pulled the calf - the heifer still is not up. Our vet is optimistic that she will get up in the next day or say or so. However, the calf also isn't getting up - it's front legs won't support it very well. Our vet said that like the heifer, the calf has nerve damage from the birth canal that will improve in the next few days. Does this sound right? If and when both are up, can anyone predict what the chances are of the heifer wanting the calf? When the calf is put next to her, she makes no move to lick it or touch it - she has made a few low "mothering" noises towards it. [/QUOTE]
