Well after a long drawn out battle, i lost the calf. I tubed her 3 times a day giving her milk replacer and electrolytes plus LA 200 but it didnt work. Tonight at dinner time she wouldnt even swallow the tube and i was about to force it into her. She got cold on me and no matter what i did, i couldnt get her temp back up. I talked to a very knowledgable neighbour/cattleman and he said i did everything he would do, sometimes you just lose.
This is only my 3rd year calving out cows. The first year I lost one to calving complications, we had a heck of a time pulling the calf and werent quick enough. The second year we didnt lose any, and so far this year im only 3 for 5. 1 was born dead a week ago and then this one.
Ive got a guy going to try getting me a holstien bull calf to try sticking on this cow so atleast she raises something. If she wont take it, well i guess the girlfriend has a bucket calf.
For next year, Im aiming calves for April. The weather just isnt cooperating for calving this time of year.
Just thought i would give an update. Thanx for the suggestions the other day.
