[QUOTE="LimoX, post: 996565, member: 16710"] Left the house this morning to go to work. A little snow after a long day of rain and snow last night. Anyways checked the heifers and cows that are due to calf and everything was fine. No signs of any problems with the ones born or the cows that were due to calve. Anyways, I'm at work and my in-law who has been farming and ranching for close to 70 yrs calls me at work and says mail lady had come by and said one of the heifers was in labor and looked like she was struggling. No big deal leave work go home and assist in-law. The kicker is as while my in-law and I was trying to make it the their to help out the heifer the mail lady calls and says the buzzards are already starting to poke at the heifer and the calf WHILE SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF LABOR had torn part of the end of the calves tongue! Calve was half way out and the heifer went ahead and had the calf but is struggling to get back up and walk (although she has moved a couple of times and is now about 100yds from where she had the calf. The problem is she spent most of her time running off the DAMN Buzzards that the calf never got licked or cleaned up and by the time she could do it she could barely walk. Watched her for another hour or so and we had to take the calf home so we could get the calf dried off in hopes that we can take it back and Momma can get back on her feet so the calf can suckle. I GUESS IT IS OPEN SEASON ON THE BLACK HEADED BUZZARDS! :mad: [/QUOTE]
