[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1802162, member: 19683"] Another two heifers calved today. This time not very succesfully. Both were calving at the same time at the same spot. One calved first. The second had feet out, but decided that she wants the first calf. She pushed the calf's dam away, so the dam of the first calf decided that she doesn't want her calf and started pushing it with her head. Finally had to move all three to the shed and put in separate pens. Helped for the second heifer to deliver her calf as she already had lost quite alot of time with all that ruckus. Sedated the first calf's dam gave a shot of oxytocin, nursed the calf. Heifer slept for a bit, but still doesn't want her calf. The second heifer is a very attentive mom, so no trouble with that pair, except that she stopped the first one from bonding with her own calf. [ATTACH type="full"]29528[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]29529[/ATTACH] The first pair, which will need some time to bond ⬆️ The second pair, which will be let out today I believe. ⬇️ [ATTACH type="full"]29530[/ATTACH] The sires of calves: [ATTACH type="full"]29531[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]29532[/ATTACH] Both calves are heifers and both are 75% of their sires breeds.
