@Jaynemma1 Yes I am vegan if thats what you mean, no I dont run around naked as I do not have mental health problems, yes I am careful when I by clothing I avoid clothes that are produced by slave labour, humans are animals too right? Sorry that you feel that we have to be perfect but in my world I do what I can to reduce cruelty and not participate in products obtained through cruelty, yes I sleep well at night, a healthy mind and body, how about you?
So sad for these cows, they are no different to a piece of machinery nowadays hence milk fever, such a sad life humans make them endure. Not a good life just less abusive than factory farming, still don't make it right, the reason I choose to enjoy a selection of non dairy milk and play no part of this.
@charliemia64 sure so you grow your own plants with 100% plant organic fertilizer? not the stuff you find at the mall with 79% bone powder right ?and you don't eat meat either or fish?, no leather for you-you don't even use glue?i suppose you run around naked too .lets not be stupid about the food chain its what keeps you alive in alot of ways
that was a big calf and was born alive, In my opinion you should have pinched/pulled his nose as soon as possible even before he is fully out as this stimulates the breathing reflex or pour some cold water into his ear for the same reason, sounds mad but it works. If you think there is still fluid in his lungs quickily pick him up and hang him over a gate or something similar with his head and front legs in an almost vertical position, then vigourisly massage his chest, this works too.
I like how the calf wouldn't come out, then as it was being drawn out, had its tongue sticking out like, "I'm not going to make this birth easy for anyone!" -I'd give it a name that meant 'stubborn' or 'rebel'. :) I'm glad to see that both are doing well.
we had a black angus that used to come in the house..she had coffee with cream and sugar..and donuts with my dad CREAM LOL her name was molly..i use the term "was" she made one good steak
I think it's very interesting how below it was mentioned how the farmer doesn't miss Holstein cows....I am wondering if this is a breed incapable of producing a calf on their own when other breeds would be able able.... and wouldn't Oxytocin also be effective in bovidae as it is in humans, or a slight variation thereof? There isn't anything on this earth that would ever convince me to deliver without an heavy Oxytocin drip, no pain meds are necessary but the hormone drip is!
Oxytocin is used, very commonly actually. 5ccs is a typical prescription via a vet. Holsteins are capable of producing and holding their own. I own, breed, raise, and show Holsteins.
u think its torture, just wait a few days when the calf is rotting inside her. that is torture, cuz then u have to cut and pull a dead calf out of her. i dont miss holstein cows at all.
Damn PETA bastards don't realize that the farmer knows what he's doing and what's best for his cows. Leave them alone and go pick on some poor, uneducated fools wearing fur.
That happens all the time. It's more for making it easier to find objects back. Doesn't cause any harm to the cow, and it often allows us farmers to be quicker about helping them.
@holsteincowboy 1 bottle IV and 1/2 SQ is followed by a fresh cow drench the next day is the Vet protocal and why did you give it to her in the milk vein?
@holsteincowboy it is much easier to hit and much faster but you will have to watch out for the cow to go from hypocalcemia(low calcium) to hypercalcemia(high calcium), even the neck vein it happens but the milk vein is more likely. The symptoms of hypercalcemia are the cow will start to shake all over like she is very cold it is very painful in there bones and mucles it wont last for long, but still us farmers dont like to cause our animals pain:)
Why must one be so rough with a baby being born.Plus that poor cow.Yeah she may be in a lush green pasture.If you people knew she was going into labor, why not move her into a barn?Seen enough torture in 1 day on theses gentle animals, that dont hurt anybody, for some people to be down right cruel towards these animals.I some times wish if I was in control, can do the same back to the cruel people who love to torture animals....
@1M005E1 I can only imagine all the cowboys and ranchers chuckling at the city slicker. This is not a house pet. It's natural habitat is the outdoors. Torture would be to let the cow try to give birth on her own. BTW doesn't strike you as odd that there would be a specific piece of equipment designed to perform just this task if it had never been done before? Stick to your hamburger and let the professionals do their job.
That's not rough, and if a cow's in need of help like she was, you can't waste time moving her into a barn. You help her right there, right now, and as fast as humanly possible. As far as torture, having that calf inside her the way it was for much longer would've been torture for her. Leave her like that long enough, and both of them could die. Best thing for her is exactly what happened, and I'll thank you not to tell us how to do a job you likely don't have experience with.
@jetsetjenny02 Actually it's a very nice life They lie out in the sun in a lush pasture all day (No stress unlike us humans) They only calve once a year
@holsteincowboy Maybe nice for them durring the spring and fall. Summer and Winters can be pretty harsh on them. They survive the heat and bitter colds, but I don't know that I'd call it nice living. Better than the factory farm animals have it I suppose. Poor factory chickens have it the worst I think.
@TheGwynnSmith Well i don't agree with you.The heat,the cold,the rain ,the sun,the snow are natural.We have to protect as posible the animals but they are steel ANIMALS!We must not do them ''dolls'' to play with,they are made to survive out there. Don't behave to animals like children,but do the best for them,and in that case,the doctor never asks the patient if he pains,but try to save him from death.
awh was born day after my bday, we had a very big bull calf born one year, cause a big problem in mum so had to hand rear baby, this calf here is beautiful, the cow was huge a holstein i believe?
Funny you ask the Claas burnt to the ground,had 150 acers left to do. Finaly got a new one then the ground was really wet we all got stuck what should of been a day of silage turned in to a week. but its all done now.Finaly. I do have a video of it but i cant get it up on here. damn computers
Some advice from a fellow young farmer, its very dangerous to put needles in the milk vein especially when things are very dirty it can get infected and kill the cow, i use a halter and the tie its head to its back leg tends to stop the cow struggling and makes access to the neck vein easy, also i give the cow oxytocin to help relax the cervix and some finadyne for pain relief as a big calf probably really hurts, oxytocin will also help the cleansing process
Shouldn't you put your calving girls in a better feild? They may have a better time of it then!lol Nice calving aid and a happy ending lol. Just HATE the feild!
being that the cow was up right after calving, im pretty sure it didnt have milk fever, when they do have signs like cold ears and they are wobley then you know that the cow is coming down with milk fever.
It was milk fever - Trust me ! . It might look like she was up right after calving but it was actually about 30 mins later. I cut out a lot of footage during the editing of this video
Two of the things I noticed.The calcium gets into the main blood stream quicker if you give it in the juglar vien instead of the milk vien,also if you give it too fast the cow can get a heart attack,so it's better to hold the bottle lower even though it takes longer.
Oh that ia so beautiful and a happy ending. What a dedicated person to stand there in the freezing cold to help a cow so obviously in distress. A very special person indeed even if he is a vet getting paid. Owner must be very special as well. Loved this clip and added it to my favs. Congratulations! Is the calf a girl or boy?
Milk fever is when a cow has a calcium or phosphorus deficiency.They get so that they can't get up or walk easily,and in the later stages lay on their side and eventually stiffen up and die if not treated.You can treat them with calacium glucosonate in the vein or a phosphorus shot in the tail depending on the type of milk fever.
Calf was still living when born but died 5 mins later. What went wrong ? The mothers milk fever delayed calving plus it was a very large calf. I think these 2 factors caused the death of the calf. I hope i have educated you :)
Thank You! Are u expirience with hens and rooster as well? Im taking care of a rooster who got into it with another. His beak is crusty with blood. He can't eat or drink well. He went a long time without treatment it looks like. I gave him anti biotics and dusted him. He can't even close his mouth the poor chap.

Milk fever is when a cow has a calcium or phosphorus deficiency.They get so that they can't get up or walk easily,and in the later stages lay on their side and eventually stiffen up and die if not treated.You can treat them with calacium glucosonate in the vein or a phosphorus shot in the tail depending on the type of milk fever.
