Ludwig bull calf. Few hours old. Cow has bloody watery beestings. Milked it out of her and fed calf frozen beestings. Does not seem to be mastitus... Will it come to milk?

Once the calf starts drinking he'll bring her into milk......I had it a few times and cleared quickly, just keep an eye on all quarters as calf may only be working off of 2/3 at the very start

Did you have any weight in the back?

No. I was loading a trailer and the tractor was pulling it.

I dont know how you are feeling about the poor tractor now, but l would see that situation as the best case scenario. Great it happened in the field the way it did. Could be any of us.

You'll have to stick up a pic of "the resurrection" when you get sorted. You'll have piece of mind after this. Lovely clean crystal btw.

Looking for some ideas for cattle thanking facilities layouts.
Doing an inside crush that can be dismantled, but just can't get it to work. I'll not be able to put in one of those circular races, but need some ideas.
Looking to have access to both sides of animal in the head gate.

Would this work
2ft Wall to crush
3ft crush
2ft crush to handling pens?

Ten plus calves.

Pity not to bull that middle heifer that was genotyped. I love that kinda shape.

She's a carbon copy of her mother. Lovely to look at but not a great calver. Had a few desperate pulls with her.

Never wrestle with pigs

Super stock Lc, that red girl with the white face is going to be some cow. She's a cracker.

Ya she's out of a really good handy size breeding cow. Had her picked as a replacement the day she was born.

How do you get any work done, I’d spend my days looking at the view.

Amazing cattle. Fair play to you.

A PBR Ampertaine Foreman x Fieldson Alfy heifer I bought recently. Just gone 2 years. She's grand and quiet and 5 stars for milk. She's a bit leggy but we'll try and pick a bull to suit.:rolleyes:

Both herself and her mother are genotyped.
