[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 553678, member: 6198"] How am i exagerating at what can go wrong? How is a foot back during calving a health issue, or how is a mal presentation during calving a mal issue or a tendancy to exagerate? Have you never had the skin over the nose at calving and lost a calf...It happens. It's not a health issue. And if you are not there to assisst then you have a dead calf and possibly a cow! How is getting timely colostrum an exageration? Things like foot rot happen Things like pnemonia happen...we have not had a case since we started to vaccinate but it still can happen Things like scours can happen...can you control the weather in the spring? things like a twig caught in a tongue or jaw or alfafla stem caught or barley awn caught can happen especially if you feed hay 8-10 months out of the year. A new person getting into cows needs to be aware of the possible problem and be ready for them. "Uh please help I have a cow that is breathing heavy, loosing weight what can i do?" "First take the temperatue" Uh how?" " restrain the animal and stick a thermometer up the butt" "If we don't have any thing to restrain the animal what next?" Seen this to many times Or seen people injured cause they so not have some sort of of infrastucture to keep them safe. You must have an amazing herd not to have any problems at all...past present and future! [/QUOTE]
