Suzie had a gorgeous little colt

[a mini dream come true]

foals, calves, kids(goats) there are lots of new babies everywhere. Hope your calving goes good Cassie. Daughter found 4 kids this anthernoon. Premature. Momma is not through so there may be two different sets of babies. Lost the first 4. Billy was not happy. wanting in with the nanny. It was not a good scene. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall watching the billy butting Mirrie

and trying to get to the nanny

and her daddy coming to rescue her from the billy

:rofl . Ain't country life grand!

:wub

Eagle, so glad you and all the horses are safe. Wouldn't know what to do with a flood around here.

it was so sad...

calf was breach

already dead...

absoloutly HUGE!!!!! haven't seen a calf this big before... a bull calf, it took us 3 hours to pull it out... the cow was so good poor mumma girl... we aren't sure if we can save her still... the next 3 days will tell, she isn't bleeding out which is good and I gave her an antibiotic so hopefully that will stop infection... but we have to make sure there wasn't any nerve damage... the worst thing that can happen to the cow after pulling a calf...

she has had 3 calves before no problem and is in really good nick... but the calf was just so big! we don't think she was able to turn him...

poor girl...

we also think that it wasn't by our bull... the paddock she was in is a boundry paddock to our neighbours paddocks... they have a massive bull that won't stay behind the fences!! no matter how many times WE fix that fence he always gets through... but this is the last straw!!!

we are now going to have to keep a REALLY close eye on the rest of the cows from that herd, as this girl was the first to calve from that lot... time to get the neighbour to do something... I really hope we don't lose this girl as she is a pure black angus and the sweetest thing! absoloutly gorgeous temperament and produces lovely calves...

anyway thats life... just hoping we won't lose her as well...

as you can imagine Dad and I are a bit emotionally exhausted now...

but anyway back to work and will keep checking on the cow during the day and night...

Oh Cassie, that is so sad

I will pray for her

 

[cassie]

Thanks Renee!! Your prayers have helped

she is looking much better tonight n has even been walking around a bit though still very weak she can't walk for long... In the danger period still for the next three days... Really hope she makes it as she is an absoloute picture of health!! Shiny sleek coat! healthy weight about 5 yes old!! Everything should have been fine

keep praying she recovers please

she is up and walking around which is good! she is still so weak which is the worrying part...

but here's hoping that she pulls through ok... thanks for the prayers! its always sad when we lose a calf... but we are hoping we can save the cow

 

[Wings]

Good to hear! I hope she keeps up that trend

 

[cassie]

Sending prayers to you and your cow.

Gracious. We have plenty of worries without having to worry about the neighbor's bull. I side with Wings, let's make hamburgers out of him.

:yeah let's pray her age and health are both positive things on her side.. Keep us posted
