We had a new calf born yesterday and he has some problems with his legs. He doesn't walk right on his back legs and he seems to walk kinda stiff on his front legs. He can get up and down just fine and he can get around ok he just looks wobbly and stiff. I am including some pictures of him and...

We weaned calves this past weekend. One of the heifers who is only 6 months old came into heat two days ago. We had the weanlings in a pen and when I went to check on them yesterday morning that heifer had gone through the fence and was in with the bulls. We were able to get her penned again...

She calved last night and had no problems. Mom and calf (bull) are both doing great. We were hoping to get a bull out of her since we are raising bucking stock. Thanks again for all the help!

So far so good. She is showing all the signs that she should calve tonight so we will see what happens. Thanks for all of the advice.

We were planning on culling her anyway because she looks as though she is getting mastitis in two of her quarters. Thanks for the advice though!

I have a question about calving.... This is somthing that we haven't encountered yet so I would like some opinions. I was checking cows last weekend and we have one that is due to calve in a couple weeks. Well, she was laying down and it looked like she had a red bubble protruding out. I...

Just curious, which Vertical Limits is the sire to that bull? We have a calf out of Vertical Limits so I was just wondering.

We had to pull a calf two nights ago that was coming out tail end first. We managed to get the legs straightened out and got him pulled with no problems. This calf was huge. He weighs close to 100lbs. Took him a while to finally get up and get to nursing but he seems to be doing fine. The only...

This is our third year calving and I have had two bottle babies in the past. I wasn't trying to ask a stupid question, we don't run a huge operation (25 head) and this is the first time we have had a calf that we question wether or not it is nursing. I am pretty sure it is I just didn't want to...

How long can a newborn calf go without eating? We had a cow calve on Tuesday. I have been checking on them everyday but haven't been able to get very close. The cows bag is so swollen and I haven't seen the calf nurse. Granted I haven't been able to spend much time watching them either. What are...

If he had been born at our place we would have tubed him but he was already over a week old so I wasn't sure if I should tube or not. I am just as surprised that he has survived. He is a tough little one. I honestly didn't think he was going to make it through that first night.

We have a neighbor that called us and said he had a calf that he didn't think was nursing and it didn't look very good and asked what he should do. We went and picked the little one up and brought him to our barn. He had a bad case of pnemonia so we have him some antibiotics and a shot of...

We are in Texas and the weather has been pretty nice. We don't have problems with frostbite and things like that here. His momma is a brahman cross and his dad is a bucking bull out of plummer bloodlines.

A picture of our first calf of 08, a bull calf...

palpated today and she is open so she must have lost the calf along the way. Thanks for all the replies though!

Thanks everyone. My husband knows how to palpate and we have a couple others that still need to be checked so we will run her in the chute and check her again. I was just curious if it was possible for a cow to show the signs while being bred. Thanks again!

We have a cow that should be 6 months bred right now. Yesterday she showed signs of heat (bull and some of the cows trying to mount her but she wouldn't stand for the bull) Is it possible for a cow to show these signs and still be bred or is it highly likely that she lost the calf at some...

I went and checked and she's not blind. Thanks everyone!

We have never had a blind calf so I didn't know if it would be obvious to me if she was blind or not.

I had a heifer calf born yesterday morning. Her mom is a first time calver and she is a brangus. She is crossed with a brahman. The calf is brown with blue eyes. She is also pigeon-toed. I have never had a calf with blue eyes. Can they have blue eyes or does this mean she is blind?
