Not a good result for Gwen.
Sorry to see, was it too big to come out easily? Never helped her in the past. Looks like she has milk, pretty calm cow and a good mother.

If you're good at skinning it may be worth a go. As a general rule I'm too old to be struggling for a week or two to train them to love each other especially if I've other jobs to be getting on with.
