Why Cows need Farmers :) Farm girl/ Milk Fever

[crazyDairyfarmer]

And its hell when they go down on a slippery surface! oh my days good video though :D

[sWeepingsAnd]

Cows don't need farmers to abuse them.

The breed has been sickened by the way you treat them.

These things don't happen in the wild.

if you do it wrong it will explode their heart , as their heart rate should go up and they will belch normally

as she said a heart attack lol ideal conditions you put it in their juggular , but can also be put in the milk vein

[zacharymullin]

it is preventable, this should never happen, you change the cow's diet pre-calving.

[depsterboy]

@zacharymullin it isn't always preventable

[johndeeregreen9987]

do u use only calcium? we use a bottle of calcium and a half bottle of dextros and we al so put some under the skin

[W1zar6]

@johndeeregreen9987 isnt the dextrose more for ketosis then? it isnt totally necessary when a cow has milk fever.

[5525Mike]

Thank you for the interesting, good, and informative video.

[tmrpatzvert]

We use 23% calcium, so we can put the fluid in alittle fast then 20 minutes, plus the 23% can also be put under the skin. Great job with this video!

[britishbeatles]

great example of how hard farmers work to care for their animals and keep them healthy, comfortable, and productive so we can feed the world

[MrFlyinpig]

Very rare for us to have a milk fever.

[montyfin]

Well done . I can treat cows with milk fever fine if I see them have the staggers shakey standing by giving them calcium under the skin .If they have gone down like yours had I can never find the vein so I just get the veteinarian

[CowboyPenner]

Two thumbs up! 

[NatureLover987]

Yeah.. I had 9 cows that got milk fever this year. The first 2 died before I could do anything (got this overnight and were dead before morning chores), but the rest had it during the day when I was out there and could see something was wrong/fix it. You're right, it's amazing what calcium can do!!

[jasonmushersee]

Good job. Nice that you were there so fast and had the calcium on hand.
