I hope Doc Carson made you feel better. I was suprised he did not want to see the cow. However. I thought he would tell you to let the cow calve in her own time.
What did you think of him?
I wish you the best.

Dr Carson was very nice. He didn't want to inflict any more stress on her than was necessary and loading her to take her over there would have been stressful on her.
Well, got good news and bad news.
Good news, she finally went into labor about 9:30 this morning and had a bull calf. They had to go in and pull it, but once he was out she was able to stand on her own. Seems that it has helped her tremendously by having the calf. She didn't stand very long but was able to move some on her own and then she laid back down. Although she seems to be resting comfortably.
Bad news we lost the calf.
So anyways....thanks for all of your help. I'll let u know how she does later on.

Take the cow and make hamburger out of her. Now! before she starts losing muscle/weight. I think those Mennonites in Orrville will do it for you.

I am sorry you lost the calf. I know how that can hurt. now take care of the mamma and she may make you a cow.
You did what you could but sometimes it just ain't ment to be.

I will be selling bulls in Uniontown in November. If you make it to the sale stop in and see me. As of now I plan to take 2 bulls two years old and 5 heifers (open) 10 months old. All Angus.

Mike; Have you got anything for Uniontown this year? I think youtold me that you sold out last fall.

Yeap sometimes no matter what you do ya come up with the short end of the stick. But you know in this business you just hafta look at it like this,
Ya done what ya could. Somethin just wasn't right to start with. The good lord has his ways of takin care of things like that.
It's hard to deal with sometimes, but ya pick up n move on n do yer best to learn something from the experience.

We're having a private auction this year. Much cheaper and get better prices.
You are welcome to put yours in too. Is on Nov. 4.

Dang Mike tell me more.

Thanks Mike and ALabama.........we are going to just watch her and see how she does. Like I said right after she had the calf she got up and moved around some. I know that we have done all we can, so right now we will just keep her fed and watered and try to keep her from becoming to the point that she can't get up.
I'm not sure when we are suppose to load and go back to the stockyard. I know that we've probably got 30-40 calves that need to go, just a matter of getting time to load them.
If we make it, definetly will look u up.

Well, after all the hard work thought we had her up and moving, apparently she had internal bleeding and subcummed to it Sat afternoon. So once again I thank all of you who have reposnded to this post.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Sometimes it just ain't ment to be.
