[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1470679, member: 25884"] One dairy that I used to milk on, had a bunch of heifers out to pasture getting close to calving. Brought them home and one had a bit of an udder, went in her and no calf so they put her in with the milk cows, figured she aborted a dead calf. About 10 days later a neighbor to that pasture called and said they saw a calf out in the pasture. It took 3 days of 4-wheeler riding and walking and just through luck saw the calf then had one he// of a time catching the calf. It had maybe been 2 or 3 days old when they moved the heifers if that. It survived because it had gotten a bit of milk /colostrum first. I think also that your cow prolapsed after calving and the calf did get a first meal or two. It may have sucked her when laying out too, have seen calves do that on cows that went down. She is a survivor, a great will to live. Fine testament to your good old cow. [/QUOTE]
