Can't say I'm disappointed in our Spookys we used him sexed for 3 years. 16 of our 78 cows are Spooks, now mainly 3rd/4th calvers, 8-9000kg at reasonable constituents but we don't push for yield. No temperament problems, 2 of them are a bit over-tame if anything. Cell counts and fertility OK. Not too big - we want small Holsteins and we loved his short gestation period. We only have one skittish cow, she's a Dynamo daughter, her mother was OKMy Spooky daughters were shite
No, leave well alone, and it will burst on its own. We had a vet interfere with one once and it didn't help. The old vets always said leave it alone, I have seen a few now, and they were right.
Any ideas what actually happening there? We had this off and on for a few weeks for no apparent reason
I can't see how.
Can your scanning tech not sex the calf?
We had an old girl slip and she spent a few weeks in the calving box with shackles on. The first morning she was put back in with the cows she marched down the collecting yard when I opened the gate to let the cows down it, headbutted the gate half way down the collecting yard at the bottom of the parlour opposite the calving box til it opened. Then stood next to the gate of the calving box looking at me as if to say well let me in you idiot.
we had a bit of trouble with the pressure relief valve too, nobody thought that was the problem, now im getting suspicous
