Yikes!!! Where are you? That is not good. Sorry don't know about the ewe, with down cows we use a hip lift and pick them up at least twice a day, keeps the blood flowing.
That is crazy! It's super muddy here. Finally shipped our heifer calves, had to trail them 3 miles to the neighbors as we can't even get pickups and trailers in and out of here let alone a semi. The heavy cows are in the pasture the pairs go to....guess we are calving out there. There are 84...
We lost 6 cows this fall, they gave us 2 kill permits. Had to be on our private or leased property, not the BLM that the cows have to go through to come home. Not right that we should have to kill them, they should have to do it.
