[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1787348, member: 968"] So. Our bad morning continued. Went out around 4am. Finished with our bubble calf, vet cleaned up and left. Cleaned up that mess and started chores. Went to check 2 and 3 yr old c/C pairs. Java, one of "my" kids show heifer (shown as calf and bred yearling - won lots) was feet up in air. Thought she was dead, but we found her soon enough. Couldn't flip her, so got tractor and used a halter to pull her upright. She had melted a hole in the snow and ice and MUD. She beat herself up trying to get up. Head, eye, ear, face all swolen. She couldn't get up, so we covered her with blanket and tarp and hay, while we worked on a plan to get straps under her. Called for reinforcement (strong friend) and got an area ready to haul her into a barn. While we were slipping the heavy straps under her...she struggled and got up. Whew! Walked her slowly down the hill to the barn, with her calf in front. Going to give her Azium (Dex) in a little bit. Talked to vet, he said give heavy dose of 20cc. She is a 2 yr old but huge. Probably 1400#. [/QUOTE]
