[QUOTE="dun, post: 81935, member: 34"] We used to just time them back up to themselves so they would'nt get stepped on or hung in the brush and let them fall by themselves. Even after a 2 weeks or so and the cow stinks so bad you couldn;t get near her we never had problems with uterine infection. They alwasy bred back but werre usually a little later coming back into heat the first time after calving. I don;t know what mineral causes the problem, we haven't had a retained placenta in the last 15 years. They generally clean within an hour 2 at the most after calving. This morning we had a cow that was due today lay down for about 5 minutes, really bare down one time and I saw something sticking out so I grabbed the binocs and sure enought, there were the feet. She rolled back up on her brisket and I never saw another contraction, but the calf just oozed out like a sausauge out of a sausage stuffer. Took about two minutes after th hard push and the calf was out. That was the easiest birthing I've ever seen. Calf was only a75 lbs. dun [/QUOTE]
