[QUOTE="f4leggin, post: 583356, member: 5863"] I took 4 of them to the vet today - didn't take the 5th - she is obviously going to deliver soon, didn't want to stress her with the trip. The trip itself probably wasn't that stressful - loading them into the trailer - that was quite an ordeal - I'm glad she wasn't part of that. 3 of the 4 are pregnant - 2-3 months - which is great news. The 4th could be pregnant less than 30-60 days. The vet was very helpful, we discussed a vacination schedule, wormer schedule etc.. After being checked, all 4 were very happy to walk calmly back on to the trailer. I took a good look at his shute, trailer loading set up, and have some good ideas on how to improve my set-up so that loading and working the cattle isn't so dangerous for the people and stressful for the cattle. I got a good kick on my upper thigh - it's sore, but all in all not a bad place to get kicked, it was a stupid move on my part that got me kicked. I talked with him about the 5th heifer left at home, at his advice, I released her when I got back. He suggested I check her morning and night and we talked about what to do if there is a problem. Thanks for all the advice - Jill [/QUOTE]
