Well that's it. Buy the texture of the placenta it was born in the early morning hours. No indcation as to why it was still born unless it suffocated from placenta over it's nose.Got out there about 8 this morning. Mother had it cleaned up, even though it was dead....don't know when that happened. The !@#$%^ buzzards were already out there whacking it to pieces....let's see Federally Protected Vultures, probably kill 1 in 10 calves around here in birth or within the first 10 days of life; white wing tipped the worst; very aggressive; try to kill it if it is not already dead in calving......but the almighty feds know all.
Cow is standing there trying to lick life back into it when I got there........how am I going to get rid of it to keep the vultures away from here, being the calving season just started...think....think.....
Got out my Branson with loader and was able to pull it away from her, get it into the loader and take it off where the coyotes (in the creek bottoms) could clean it up. This way I was safe and didn't have to worry about the cow causing me personal harm....which has happened before.
This is in the tractor section since my tractor kept me from injury.
Hopefully the rest of the season will be uneventful.....scratch $600 or so off my income this year.....heck that would have bought me 200 gallons of off road diesel.
