[QUOTE="ColonialMilkmaid, post: 1182533, member: 23021"] I have a 5 yr old Jersey who had her 3rd calf this past week. She was not induced. She showed signs of being 24 hours away from calving but took 72 hours to do so. Calf got stuck and my mom and I had to pull the calf out since my cow had given up. She ended up sprawled out and hardly moving. After some coaxing with the calf she finally started to move around again. The calf is a bit unbalanced on his front legs but tried to nurse normally. However, this is where I am stumped and worried. My momma cow wouldn't let the milk down and the poor bull calf had to really work hard for any milk at all. We tried milking it out and had the same problem. I was told it was retained water and would go away. But there are new issues. My calf went missing and the mom isn't concerned. She won't moo for him. And her udder is now full of solid lumps. We can milk out about a gallon of normal looking milk (her usual) and the lumps are still there. I am worried about the calf and the momma. I hope someone can help me out! [/QUOTE]
