Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Well that was fun

Prolapse at 2 AM.
And of course the H/H bibs were hanging in the garage and not in the pickup. Soaked in through with 'juice' and blood.


At least it isn't 10 below.

Ah, the good old days. Was it a Hereford.

Angus bred heifer.


Laundry, hot shower, debating on whether or not to go back to sleep.


Might go fuuck with my wife and order breakfast....grin

Prolapse or pulling one. Never happens at a good time.

Usually when you're dressed up to go somewhere though...

We used to have that problem with the Herefords/cross as well as pink eye, hoof rot....then it seemed like once we started with angus those problems were few and far between.

Semmentals, ah phook i don't even want to think about those things. They where high maintenance beasts for us.

Does anyone run Saler cattle anymore?

RBB, we just started calving and everything had been going smoothly, until a few hours ago. Hopefully she makes it.

Easiest way to avoid time conflicts is to not plan anything in advance. A Monday-Friday job would be like a vacation...grin



Viking, we actually used to use Saler bulls but the offspring were too high headed. Some guys still have Saler but pretty uncommon around here.

Hard to beat Angus for this country. This is the first prolapse in calving out around 400 head of bred heifers in the last few years. Knock on wood we don't have another one any time soon.

Sam, Those are fun, wish I did not know how to fix those. Can't you just plead ignorance and say Dad, could you show me one more time how its done?

Looking at all of the breeding and custom cattle out there....why didn't someone design one with a side zipper or a calf on a rope? Seems easy enough if we can grow a heart in a pop bottle.....

Cowman, my dad was standing outside the chute coaching. Pushed and worked her back in for maybe 20 minutes and then all of a sudden it just plopped back in.


Of course she had to piss and chit all over me in the process.


He's done them by himself before and that would suck.



HC, I'm sure there are people who think that's how it works!

huh?

You sew her up to prevent recurrence?

Kenneth, google image.

Eat your breakfast first.

RBB, yep, stitched her up and put her back with the calf so maybe she won't lay down and start straining again.

Hopefully she does alright, and the rest of your calving is smooth sailing.

oh,

so much for breakfast, and lunch, and dinner,

I need to lose weight anyways.

You're like an animal Plumber, with really weird hours.

Thanks Ben, good luck to you guys as well.



Kenneth, if they would all decide to calve in the daylight it would be much easier!




Later.

You get a tractor yet, Sam?

Living the dream!

Still bets the hell out of a desk or factory job every day

And there lays the birth of the phrase " Looks like a cows ass sewed up with a grape vine "
