I have a cow who had a calf on Saturday. Big Brahman-Holstein cross...it's her third calf.
Her two front teats are big and hard...too big for the calf to nurse.
She stayed in the same place last night and didn't move.
I got her moving this morning and she drank some water.
The calf is nursing the smaller teats.
I don't know what I can do by hand with those two big teats.
There's no way I could milk them empty.
I have one dose of Banamine left...and I think I have LA300 at home.
Any advice?
Is there a way to soften those teats with hot towels or cold towels?
