well yesterday while doing evening chores and checking cows i noticed one 1st calf heiffer acting funny like she was gonna start calving , well i left and went and fed horses, came back a hour later and she was down walked out and looked at her , sure enough she was calving , a few minutes later out pops the calf, i stick around for her to lick the calf clean and let it suck , plus i wanted to move it further away from where she had it at , just a few feet away from a pond . i was there maybe 30 to 45 minutes before i picked up the calf and left , i came back about a hour later, and what a suprise i had , she had prolapsed , im guessing she did that when she was in the process of cleaning herself out , called the vet he came over , got her in the pens easy enough, , 2 epiderals later and one hell of a wrestling match by chocking her down and keeping her down and a 1/12 went by she had everything back in and sewed up, , i came on home got cleaned up and went back over about 11pm to check on her and make my nightly rounds , everything was ok , got up two more times to go make my rounds through the cows and see if anything new had came about . momma and calf are doing ok, shes gonna raise her clalf then be sold. a freind of mine asked me why i check on my cows so much , well this is a good example why i check on em so much while im calving
