[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 1246441, member: 9169"] Lost a cow and calf this week. It haunts me for a couple reasons. For one, it might have been prevented if I had been called at work sooner. Probably not the calf, but might have saved the cow. For two, the cow was only 7 and a real sweetheart. One of the ones who comes up to see what you are doing and if you might have a cube on ya. Delivered twins unassisted before, and raised them both. When we were wrestling with her to get her snubbed up for the vet, she never head butted or offered to kick. Calf was butt first, hind legs forward under the belly, wedged in. Vet couldn't reposition the calf so did a C-section. Calf was dead for hours, cow died the next day. I'm sick for humane reasons, not to mention the price of a pair. Some days it sucks to own cows. ETA: That's her in my avatar photo as a calf. [/QUOTE]
