Thank you all for your replies. I do believe the calf got her colostrum. Amy

Tuesday afternoon I get called home from work by the boyfriend- 3 day old calf is down. It was very lethargic,and wouldn't open it's eyes. Rectal temp was 101. Mouth was cold per my finger so I put a clean cover on the thermometer- 97 degrees in the mouth. I warmed the calf in the shop. The skin...

Thanks for all who responded to my question. Here is an update on my calf. She is a bit over 300 lbs, so it has been a challenge getting her up. I bought a block and tackle from Tractor Supply. We fashioned a sling with leg holes from an old canvas cover off something. When we would get her up...

She was given a shot of Mu Se by the vet. She initially had 2 days of banamine and dexamethasone. The banamine and dex was repeated a week later. We are to give her a shot of Bo Se 2 weeks after the shot the vet gave her. We are giving her milk replacer, hay and grass, which she eats. She...

We have a 3 month old calf with white muscle disease. Diagnosed by vet via blood tests through Cornell. She has been down for 8 days now. She is eating, drinking,moving around, but not able to get up. Does anyone have any experience with this? Can this calf recover and walk again? Thanks, Amy

Had another calf yesterday by this bull. Ma is hereford. Calf is black baldie. This bull is from black/ black sire and dam. I'm glad to at least get some black out of him. Thanks for your answers! Amy

Hi All! I've got a black angus bull. Red angus mother and he produced a solid red heifer. Hereford ma and he produced a solid red heifer with a bald face. What is up? Will the rest of the calves most likely be red? Thanks for your input! Amy

Lineback! That is what the guy called it! And momma cow was speckled and had the dark features. I'm envious at that $17.50 price. I gave $150. Thanks to everyone for your help!

Her head and face sure looked like those. Thanks!

I needed a calf to use milk from our only milk cow, so I purchased a 3 day old calf that was sired by a Hereford and momma looked kinda like a holstein, but had speckles on her, and a black nose. She was mainly white. The owner called her a "----line" cow. What breed or type of cow was he...

Here's my update: Yes the cow will eat from a bucket- just don't touch her. We have a chute we borrowed and will be setting it up tonight in my barn. I have plenty of gates and panels to use to funnel her into it. We will get her milked out if it can be done safely. We will put the baby on...

Update: I got a rope around the cow's neck tonight and tied her to a post in the barn. She about choked herself out ( I couldn't get it around her nose too) so I had to let off. Then I had the unpleasant task of trying to get the rope off her neck. After that I tried to run a couple strands of...

What I gave the calf was IgG. I don't think I could get a rope on this cow. Dexamethasone- does that have to come from a vet?

I had a calf born late Sunday night. By the truck headlights, the baby looked like it was covered in iodine- I figured it had pooped in the sac. Monday afternoon I figured out it hadn't nursed- the whole cow was covered in suck marks about the heighth of the baby's neck. The calf was down and...

Mom is a commercial simmental. Is dad a red angus or simmental? She was exposed to both per the previous owner. http://cattletoday.com/photos/showgalle ... puser=2253

If a charolais bull crosses with a simmental cow, what color would the calf be? If a red angus bull crosses with a simmental cow, what color would the calf be? I ask this as our commercial simm cow calved today and she was exposed to two bulls and we are trying to decide who the father was...

Thanks so much for the great ideas!! I happen to have a handy friend who can help me. Thanks!

Okay, I got the mineral and the barrel. But I do not have a tree to hang it from. What do you suggest for alternative mounting that won't get knocked over? Thanks, Amy

Thanks for all the great replies. The next time someone tells me that a cow MUST eat the placenta, I will be ready for them. :D Amy

I was told a cow needed to eat the afterbirth for the vitamins and minerals. With horses, we always removed the after birth as soon as we found it. They didn't want to eat it anyway. What do you guys say??
