Thanks tanko, will give him a shot so this season. Yep, this KJB was 11 days over.

Anto_Meath · 06-04-2022 08:02PM

That's a lovely calf Tellmeabit, as is the calf in the back ground..

Ya off LIS-NA-RI GUCCI

Bull. May try a few more SIM this year

Had a cow go from no waterbag or even pushing to up licking the calf in under 5 mins yesterday. Must AI her to something big this year. Her mother once calved a full breach before.

Calf born dead this evening. She wasn't due for 30 days. No signs this morning and all of a sudden around 4 o clock she started pushing, water bag came out at 6 and we pulled but calf was dead. Nice sized claddagh Mccabe bull. Sickner it is. Maybe should have went in when she started pushing at 4 but probably dead anyway.

Thats a sickner,had the same here 3 weeks ago.Went to feed cows one morning and there was a little limo bull calf in the slats a full month early.Tiny little fecker,had to tube him for 4 days before he could suck.Hes out the field with the cow now still only half the size he should be but Hardy out.Dont know if he'll ever come to anything but he's alive at least

That's a sickner alright. Was it a pedigree cow? How much were the straws?

Baalbec10 · 07-04-2022 08:54PM

No a commercial, would have been a cracker. That's the way it goes. Have a cow at 300 days to hurricane gonzo, she would want to calve fairly lively to lift the mood.

Anto_Meath · 07-04-2022 10:20PM

That's a sickner alright, but when she came early and you had to pull the calf then something went wrong before this evening. That was outside your control..

Well, this cow just calved there now. That ends my wondering if she was incalf or not. Fine Gamin (ZGM) bull. Was hoping for a heifer as she is a great cow.

How things swing around again. Got a claddagh Mccabe heifer calve from a Beguin x blonde cow tonight. Calved unassisted from a favourite cow of mine. You don't be long forgetting

tellmeabit · 09-04-2022 02:47PM

I've a 3rd time calver that's 18 days over, she is a tidy cow now but looks big at the mo. Calf still moving inside. Should I wait on on her or chance the vet for a shot? Bull is ch2218. Only used him once before carried 14 days and a bit of a pull. This cow would be smaller

tanko · 09-04-2022 04:38PM

I think giving that shot is really a last resort if there’s a problem with the cow, it can cause problems like retained cleanings, she’ll calve when she’s ready to, he’s not hard calved. When was she Ai’ed?

How much are the Cladagh McCabe straws?

squinn2912 · 09-04-2022 05:53PM

Look of love right there and from me too. Lovely Tomschoice Lexicon PB heifer calf born this morning. Mammy has piles of milk and the wee one is as hardy as they come. Great result

alan10 · 09-04-2022 06:32PM

Dovea AA5373 heifer calf from Aa heifer today. Nothing easy calve with this angus. Gave her a hand at 6am, crubs out since 5am, tongue was out also. She's only 2 year to the day. Loads milk, she should do good job on her.

Not sure she would have got her out herself? About pint fluid came out calf when I got her out. Slow to suck for angus also, lost patience after 2 hr and just tubed in 3 L.

That's a serious shape and muscle for an angus.

Ya think so. Not hard calved which is great. Will have to get a few more.

alan10 · 09-04-2022 07:53PM

Yep, he's down as medium sized bull on the catalogue, first time I had him. Next 2 to calve are muscley lim's heifers and both have him also. 😐

three heifers left. One BA in calf to AI red Angus and two in calf to neighbours short horn… they will be the tough one.

edit: spider calves again.

Anto_Meath · 09-04-2022 09:03PM

Lovely stock kollegeknight, he is a good bull.

tellmeabit · 09-04-2022 09:24PM

12 June

Ya only ever given to a cow that was down and in effort to aid cow and calf

Dairy men have suggested it to me locally.

Ya he isn't but he was the hardest pull I've had to help with this year 1st cow calved. Will let her be. What's the longest a cow would go?

According to my Ai man last week, there gone up to €20

tellmeabit · 09-04-2022 09:32PM

What calves are you most happy with this year and what sire?

That is a very long gestation alrite. The longest ive ever seen is 9 months and 31 days which would be three more days for your cow. She must be near calving, much sign of her? I suppose you could ask your vet what they think.
