I think you will feel better when you talk with Doc Carson. Let him look at her and you will know for sure what the right thing to do is. I would bet a short visit to the clinic would be less than $100 if they don't have to keep her over night.
And this thing about inducing labor. The vets at auburn will sure be able to tell you best.

As for now, just keep her a comfortable as you can. That is all you can do and hope for the best.

Me and TLC Farms will be over later today to help you drink em. TLc is from Dallas county. Ain't that close to you. If you ain't had too many frozen ones you could ride over and check the cow?

I have rolled hay every evening for the last 7 days. I think I have had enough of this heat.

I think I have a date to go to the Patsy Cline thing tonight. I here it is well worth it. Have you been or know anyone that has. The last time I was there was for Elvis and that was great.

Mike you just ain't sitting next to the right woman if you are falling asleep. And I think they do sell Pina Coladas. I sure hope they got the AC working in there tonight or they may need one of those 30 gal mixers.

Just an update.....no change as of yet. Had someone come out and check her yesterday afternoon to see if she has dialated any. From what they could tell the calf is still ok....head in the right position....but still kinda low. Thinking it could be another couple of days before she will calf. Also talked with Dr Carson. He stated that we were doing all that could be done for her right now and that since she is heavy with calf they wouldn't want her to be transported right now. Let her calf and then if we want them to look at her we could bring her over. Possibility they could put a cast on her leg, but she would still need to learn to be able to get up and walk on three legs on her on first before they would put it on. Said it's a very could possibility that the longer the calf stays in and keeps her down it will give her a better chance of letting her leg heal some. Although he did say unless she was a cow that would be worth the expense he would just recommend keeping her where she is and let her do it on her own as the cost of the visit($75.00), cost of the cast ($200.00) and then boarding if she had to stay there ($15.00 a day) would more than what she is worth in the long run.
So if anything else changes I will post it but as of right now I guess no news is good news......
