That's tough luck Patsy but you couldn't have done anymore. It no consolation but that kind of thing happens to us all at some stage.

Bolix, bollix - got cow to get up herself. Noticed the pins well down. Took nearly 30 mins to walk her up the yard, on 3 legs, onto bed of straw. She started calving straight away. Went back to house and by the time I had the camera turned on, I could see the calf completely out and still in the cleaning. Got to shed and calf dead. Its head was tuned back too but I think it was dead all along. Couldn't get near calf then to try and revive it as cow jumped up and wouldnt let me near it.You seriously wonder is it worth it sometimes.

I second what tanko said , doesn't be nice to happen, but is inevitable to us all once in a while, as you say, head was bent back, so was dead this while, all you can do is get her tidied up tomorrow, and back into condition, for next calveing or for show,,
Just back in myself, from tending to a bloated cow, due in 3 weeks,
But yea, its still worth it, even with the ups and downs. Soldier on patsy.

Sh1t happens patsy, at least you have a live cow, who was a potential downer. Have a bunch of cows and calves out on grass here, seeing them yesterday in the spring sunshine makes it all worthwhile.

Youngest lad here sleep walks/talks has frightened the life out of me a few times. He wouldnt remember a bit of it the next day

whelan2 · 11-03-2016 12:59PM

Oh is always taking knives from the house for opening bales etc. This morning he drove over this and did a nice bit of damage to the back Tyre of the digger. He is paying to get it fixed.

Have a 4 year old 2 year old and 6 month twins. We do be going around half spaced out half the time. Both of us wire out but then they say something funny or smile and you forgive them straight away.

Time for the burdizzo though. ðŸ˜©
