To start off we are a small farm with only about 20 or so momma cows and have only had cows for about 4yrs.....this actually happened last Sunday morning while checking cows.....long story short went out on our coldest morning this year (wind chill of 9) and found a calf wandering around the pasture with no mama.....not good....found her down with an inverted uterus....took the calf to the garage to warm up and get dried off.....now for the cow, I thought she was paralyzed and was gonna have to put her down but she got up.....my wife and I got her into the squeeze chute....
long story short it took several hours and the help of the whole family (me in the chute, wife on one side, 8 yr old son holding up the tail, 6 yr old daughter answering phone) plus a couple of friends but we got it back in and sewed her up....week later she's out with the other cows like nothing happened....AMAZING! While this is not something I want to repeat it is neat how our little family came together and worked.....I don't think many do that anymore.
