They are starting

Will you pull any of the twins and put on the newly fresh jersey in your picture???
We are almost done, I think there are about 10 +/- left to calve... 2 heifers calved in the last 2 days, 1 hfr and 1 bull calf... 5 more heifers to calve... few more late cows...

Providence. 3 year old that blew out her bag calved this morning. Dairy heifer calved this afternoon. She will start her nursing life immediately.

Nothing like a midnight pull and prolapse to top off the day. No other inhabitants were disturbed during the process.

Good save on the calf and the prolapse... hope she comes along good to raise the calf.

Schistosomus reflexus (SR) is a rare, fatal congenital defect in animals, primarily observed in cattle, characterized by spinal inversion, exposed abdominal viscera, and abnormal limb positioning. It's a significant cause of dystocia (difficult birth) in cows and other animals. The condition is often associated with genetic factors, though the exact cause remains elusive.

Meet Norman, born a little spastic, he's walking now, sucks the bottle great, hoping to get him still enough to go on a nurse cow tomorrow. His mother slipped through the cracks somehow and only has two quarters left. Kill cows are worth a lot of money and we don't like milking so nurse cow it is.

 

[gcreekrch]

Careful of the slip with serpentine needles. This was from the prolapse replacement. Of course on the throttle hand for quad.

Nice job on the c-section, and a good looking facility to do it in.
