Rough week for my best friend. Stillborn calf Tues. 2 day old calf missing & presumed dead Wed. Found a 7 year old cow Fri morning that had prolapsed, both the cow & calf were dead. Checked cattle last night and found a 12 year old cow had prolapsed & died. Searched for an hour in the dark & finally found the calf, thankfully alive & was able to graft it on the cow that lost hers Tues.
We've only had cattle since 2009 & had our first uterine prolapse last year (she's fine, just had her 2nd calf). She's had 2 this year within 48 hours, 1 last year & 1 in 2013 - all died and none were heifers. What are the odds? I feel so bad for her.
