Lame cow

[grainfarmer]

Had a cow calf tonight on her own. I wasn't there but she must have pinched a nerve or something as she got up on three legs and the right hind leg looked as though it was tied to her belly. She stood for a couple of minutes and then fell over. Looking for some remedy or drug to help get her back on her feet. The cow would be about 8 years old and in very good shape. The calf was big but I wouldn't think that she had trouble having it...

She will probably come along quickly on her own over the next couple of days.Shot of Azium wouldn't hurt.Just make sure she has lots of room so she doesn't lay on the calf.

What are you doing helping a fellow producer in need NORTH OF THE 49TH. Oldtimer?????

This would not have been an Oxen cross calf would it grassfarmer? Hope your cow is all right. Oldtimer's advice sounds reasonable. I don't think he has ulterior motives this time!!!!!!

[grassfarmer]

Hey Kaiser you need glasses!

[rkaiser]

Oh my Goodness grassfarmer -- you're right. It's not Oldtimer, it's his evil cousin by the Kreek who is giving his best advice. Even more strange - maybe the implosion of Rcalf has left these boys feeling like thay need to be re-baptised in some good Canadian water.

I would book an eye appointment first chance you can Randy.

Hopefully you can read the phone book! j/k

Hey Kaiser you still need glasses - read who wrote the original post!

[rkaiser]

ya well!!!!! I hit me head on the truck door yesterday. Sorry grainfarmer - I hope you didn't take my comment about the Oxen the same as old grassframer would have.
Your'e getting in my head there Cattleman - I can't figure out who the hell you are???????? By the way I got my glasses at Canadian Tire.

you all need to give your head a shake. be it whether we are north or south of 49 th we should try to help or give the best advice we feel we can to a cattle producer , we are all in this thing together. we should all try and fiqure out how to better the north american market instead of fighting amoung ourselves.

Amen to that hayburner !!! By the way, hopefully the cow is up and allright, that seemed to be the main focus of the post !!!
