Same thing last Friday as I helped a farmer friend turn their minds from a$$ to grass.
Makes for a long day and cleaning up the treasures afterwards makes the day longer yet.
I'm a old man and a special sorted group ofsix went through the chute first. I called the vets attention to the fact one was bleeding real bad. He said he would check, but that's the way it is in the real world. I was busy and did not see if he actualy did check, but the next morning the 800# calf had all four in the air.
I have never had this take place before, but it sure looked like something was arise. Farmer is upset and wants to let the vet know in loud words. After thought is I wish I had not mentioned telling the vet to the farmer. I realy thought the calf needed the vets attention.
Seems I can get into situations without trying.

Over the years we never have turned them out to the corn fields as they left the chute. They did last Friday, however the one that died was one of the group of 6 calves that was kept in the yard. The group of 6 was calves that the stock cow got lame, trouble calving etc. and the stock cows of these calves were sold early summer.
The dead calf was as usual, one of the biggest of the bunch, total around seventy. Was a real stockey lookin Angus.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
