4 from the last 4 days
Last one is this mornings but mother prolapsed straight after calving. got vet to put back in and stitch up and the bugger pushed it back out ripping stitches through flesh so vet back out to re do hopefully holding this time.
I’m a bit miffed as it’s one of the better cows and always has a cracking calf no bother and this is her 4th and will be her last sadly I think .

All our pedigree British Blues are white
Actually they are nearly white, they usually have a bit of black on there ears or round the eyes or a black nose

Bloody Sod’s law last one to calve and it was 8 days over sodding big num bull just doesn’t want to suck. Currently having to tube it.
it’s the first blue I’ve struggled with to get sucking ever

 

[Henarar]

Ahh not so good that @Karliboy
odd we had one the other day that just wouldn't suck, first one we have had like that for many years, had to tube it then it got going,
first thing I will ask is are you 100% sure he is not sucking ?

Yeah I’m fair sure he’s not.
think he’s feeling a bit off colour really dry nose cold ears. Body temp is near normal though.
I didnt over feed for first 2 days hoping he would pull his finger out. Hopefully we will get there.
(Better had do I’ve tagged him and already sent for passport)

Getting there now

if I am in the yard close by as long as I dare, obviously wouldn't go of and leave them unattended to much the one in question shoved it out straight after calving and vet put it back in and I said are you stitching it and know it will be fine was the answer from the vet and an hour later out it came again when she lay down. My calving gate yoke has a bend in the head bar at the bottom so if one went down it wouldn't hang and its next to a division gate so can give extra room and I just put calf in front of her in feed passage with a couple of sheep hurdles around it ,Works for me ,Have you got a calving gate ?

 

[Karliboy]

I can see what your saying.
I have a separate calving yoke in the other Shed. I’ll bear it in mind for next time.
Hopefully there won’t be a next time
