And so it begings

As we headed to the feed ground to feed the big bunch of cows, I see a cow in the distance walking towards us with her back humped up, tail sticking out and walking like she  had something stuck in her butt! I hollered at Cameron. We have an issues! OMG Its NERDLY!!! My 11 year old bottle baby!!!!! Adrenalin and panic set in. I drove that feed truck like I stole it! LOL! Taking into account that Cameron was on the back hanging on for dear life, barking driving orders at me and flinging hay like it was on fire!
He dropped me off with Nerdly so I could sit with her, while he buzzed back to the barn, got the trailer and loaded her up.
Got to the barn, got her in the pulling pen, got an arm in her. PHEWWW! A live baby. But, its upside down. Grab the feet and give him a turn. With the help of Nerdly, we got him turned over. Gave him a tug and swoosh! A teeny tiny little bull calf!! YEA!!!!!
Mom and baby doing good.

Here he is. He had some meconium on his face. But none in his mouth or lungs.

Where's the faucet!?

Have you seen it?

 
Maybe I'll try some hay.

 

Gettin' closer!

Cows on the feed ground. As I was waiting for Cameron to get back.

And so it begins. I do believe in the old wives tale, 2 weeks prior to calving and 2 weeks after the due date is when you'll have most of the issues. Today is 2 weeks prior.

Thanks for stopping by.
