Have ya' got anyway of keeping her warm...or at least out of the wind?
Hey, ya' did the best ya' could with what ya' have. Good job!
I remember when Van and I pulled one out...we called the vet and he came out and gave her IV electrolytes, but it was too late. She was a holstein. Here's hoping this one has more stamina...I'm rooting for ya'!

Wewild...as much as I like to say my Daddy was the ultimate...he did make mistakes. And, God love his heart, he'd admit to it. Don't let what happened in the past color the future, ok?

Buy the looks of the shovels and stuff it looks like you worked your butt off. You are to be commended for your hard work and using common sense and digging her out like the first person that replyed to your post advised.
One poster suggested dex thats for inflamation. I personally would do banamine it will help make heR feal better. Also she needs electrolytes as Alice suggested and needs in a up right postion as another poster said.
One more thing be carefull with that john deere if its a A-B- OR 60 MODEL WITH THE TRYCICLE FORNT END as it can rare up and come over backwards on you. If I was going to use it to pull her any more i would pull from the front of the tractor. Those are good old tractors but they can rare up in a heart beat and with the hand clutch you might not get it stopped quick enough.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Seems old dusty must be having a very bad day. Might need to do some fact-checking, though. Around here (Austin) the schools quit using that meat because of health concerns, as that slaughterhouse was processing meat from downer animals. That is not to be used as food for humans. The treatment of the animals did not enter into that decision at all.
As to the other issue, I have pulled several cows from mud over the years using the chain around the neck method. The cows had no problem with it. In fact, they seemed quite appreciative.
Don't know about his $300,000 cow...... She obviously has never gotten stuck in mud. She might even live in the house with him.
Ya don't suppose that he's the PETA narc he was talking about ?

Go get all your neighbors that have tractors with lights NOW!!!!!!!!!If you have to haul her in a front end loader then DO IT.
Get that poor girl home to a shelter where you can hose her off get her warm and get an IV into her ASAP.
If not put her out of her misery.

Dusty i am sure that you had the cows best intentions at heart and related it to your personal experiences of being stuck. Having said that I am certain that your body could not take being run through a chute and roped by a mounted cowboy.
