Been raising cows off and on for several years, and allways had good luck up till this year when I lost a black angus to annaplasmosis. ( I never heard of it till it was too late) I have a Jersey cow that I bought bread, and today was the day for one more to come into the world. I went to check her this morning and found her laying in the pasture with a nose and one leg sticking out her rear. The vet decided to be a jerk today and refused to come "all the way out there", and I figured I didn't any other choice, so I rolled up the sleeves, shot my hand and forearm up the back door, freed up the other leg( stuck at the shoulder) pulled and pulled at each contraction, and yahoo out he came. Beautyful bull calf. The Jersey must have gotten hit by a beef cow as the calf is huge!! Gonna have to bottle feed though as the mama could care less about her new baby. We milked out a good bit of colosturom (sp?) and started bottle feeding. I know it's not a tractor story, but it's close enough for me. Just happy, thats all.
