[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 169048, member: 968"] J-CCC sorry to hear about your loss. I personally WOULD NOT purchase a calf to put on her. You can get a perfectly healthy calf, that never gets sick, but you are bringing NEW bugs to your farm, that your other cattle may not have any resistance to. so if you might be having more calves soon, the newborns can get sick. MsCamp - Dun is right. Just leave her alone, period, unless she runs a fever and goes off feed. Any antibiotics are detrimental to the natural cleaning process. The bugs in her system will "eat away" the rotting parts & peices left inside of her. If you treat her, you kill the good bugs and there goes the natural cleaning process. And you really should not 'pull' it out. If it gets too long, you can cut it off part way or like Dun says, tie it up in a knot. It can get REALLLLLY stinky, but just ignore unless she gets sick, than you have to treat, but this is VERY rare. [/QUOTE]
