Took a calf to stockyards today, and came home and put out hay. Looked over on a hill and saw a heifer down. I'd been watching a couple for a little while looking like they were getting close to calving, so I knew what was going on as soon as I saw it. Wife and I had to make several attempts at getting her to the barn. Me on foot a lot of the time and her in the side by side, we'd get her close to the barn lot and she'd get by us. It doesn't take much walking and running the hills to wear me plum out these days.
Most times we can get them up fairly easy, but this one wasn't having it.
Finally got her through gate into another lot and in the barn from there.
Wasn't a real hard pull but had to use the pullers. It was alive and the heifer went to licking it off. Will probably give it some supplemental colostrum in a little while.
