A great example of daily care for our animals. Older cows occasionally get a sickness called "milk fever" Where after they calve they dont have enough calcium to stand up. If they are treated properly with calcium they will stand up right away, however if they are not they will not be able to stand up. Like I said in the video, this is something that has to be taken seriously as we IV directly into her blood stream and if it is given to fast it will kill her almost instantly. My Veterinarian has trained me over several years on how to do this.

  • @dairyfarmer232 I'm wondering how you believe that abusing cows makes them free.

    It must be all the propaganda you suck down, like the Nazi propaganda that convinced all the Germans that the Jews needed to be killed.

    A happy cow is a free cow. A happy cow is a cow free from the abuses of tourturous dairy farmers like yourself.  A happy cow is a live cow, unlike all of the dead cows you have killed to make a profit.

  • @sWeepingsAnd if cows are not happy they will not produce milk so that is why a farmer will do anything to make the cow happy because it will let the cow produce more milk. And once again you show you don't know a thing about animal agriculture we dont give cows hormones or steroids to make them produce more. Just wondering where do you get these crazy "facts" because they are not true at all.

  • @dairyfarmer232 1st, cows over produce milk because of abusive breedings and injections of abusive hormones and steroids, greatly decreasing the cows standard of living 2nd your cows would kill you if they could, just like you kill them.

    You are a killer, abuser, and enslaver.

    If you can't see they abuse, you're delusional and an extremly dangerous person.

  • @sWeepingsAnd 1st by milking the cow we relieve stress off the udder and overall increase the standard of living for that cow. 2nd all my cows love me every time i come by they want me to pet them and they are excited to be milked. Please tell me where the abuse is in that relationship, because i see none.

  • @dairyfarmer232 It's pretty easy to see that someone who profits from the abuse of animals bodies would try to defend their abuses of animals.

  • @sWeepingsAnd Its pretty easy to see you have no Ag background cause if you did you would know that farmers would never abuse their cows. People like you forget that these cows are their income so why the heck would they "abuse" the animal providing their income??

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

  • 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

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