Had a fr heifer calf born this morning in cubicle shed. Cow due 15th January. I served a few in early April as I was penalised for not supplying enough milk last January. A sexed mo salah calf. All good. Best of luck for calving 2022
I was walking across the yard a while after and she was doing terrible bawling, trying to pass dung . Vet said knackery. Rip calf . Mo salah calf ebi 260
I'd say fire the photographer. Heifer of course. From the photo I can't see the anus under the tail?
Ya always use here, great job to get them up and going
It seems to be it's anus, it's about an inch away from where it should be, with a bit of stuff hanging out of it. Doing a bit of bawling now . Waiting on a call back from vet
What is it exactly? Could it have been attached to the placenta?
Nasty lookin! Would the cow have stood on its tail?
Anyone here use that Ark Calf Saver? Is it worth getting?
Anyone ever see this before?
Calf born this morning and has drank
4 to 5 days usually here. Put the cow back out on the slats with the calf having access to a pen with straw for lying on.
A week to 10 days is our usual. They are on the slats then with access to straw creep area and cubicles.
Will the calf have somewhere to lie down off the slats?
Well men. How long would you leave a cow and calf in straw after calving? My old man has a cow with a calf in a pen since last day of October. I said can they not go in to slats now and he said no, no one does that, they'd get trampled and need somewhere to come out to.
Another cow calved here today. She normally has a small calf, but this was a large bull. Good Silage and mild weather bringing them big so far.
Shes not registered and the calfs she throws when crossed with a ch bull turn out to be serious weanlings. Her calf last year that was born in January weighed 474 kgs when i sold him in September.
The dairy side is up and running. FR2249 heifer calf to start from a second calver.
Good stuff, never had to touch a cow calving to Fiston here, they don’t look like much when they land but don’t be long shaping up. He was always very easy calved here.
Another brute there now. Ch bull off a roan . Another hair on him and I doubt I would have got him out.
Are PB SIM not worth the effort?
First one calved this evening. A Pure bred sim cow. She had a ch bull calf by Fiston. Calved herself and calf up within the hour. Great when its happens like that
Done 3 sheds since. Last one in 2018 and that’s my last - I promise.
Ha! How many sheds/yards/walls ago?!
I said that 13 years ago.......
haha just one more then I’ll quit I promise!
Will we ever have enough sheds........😂😂😂
Thats a quare job! I wanna put in another crust up at the sheds and have more room to put machinery in, another calving pen would be a great addition like that.
I put these pics up before. It's a yard I put a roof over, The crush was there already. I can hop into the crush and go down the side of the cow.
Just about to ask the same, thinking of building new calving shed and would like to get some ideas.
Have you any photos of the new set up?
He’s a Eurogene bull, Foreman x Emerson, would you try him on heifers?
From Eurogene. He's by Foreman out of an Emerson cow. €16 per straw. He's F94L/Q204X for Myostatin.
