I am inexperienced with calving. We have a 1st time cow that gave birth this morning sometime We found the calf at 7:00 am and it had ice on it. It was clean and it was trying to stand up, but having difficulty. We moved it and put it on hay and called around for a vet.
We could not contact a vet, so called friends and family for help. We were told that if the calf was shivering that it was starting to freeze to death and to put it in a hot bath.
We put it in a hot bath and watched it slowly die.
I am so heartbroken and wonder what I should have done differently. Please give advice. Thank you
