[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 827765, member: 5917"] Now that was a first for us. Had a 3 year old cow just a bit off last night, she was bagged up so we put her in the barn. Looked like the water bag was coming out this morning so she was left in there today. Checked her around noon. Nothing. Checked again around 2pm. Still nothing. It just seemed off so got the glove and went in rectally to check. It felt weird so called the vet. He checked and said the uterus was twisted. Got her caught in the head catch and he went in through the side. Plan was to untwist it and deliver the calf normally. Found something else was going on. He touched the uterus and it split open. That was an Oh Crap moment. Grabbed the chains and handles and the 2 of us got the calf out. Nice little heifer and she was alive. Just hoping the cow survives too. She has been drinking water. Got a bag of frozen colostrum thawing out right now. Going to take the calf a bottle. [/QUOTE]
