Good luck, we recently purchased 3 Jersey heifers. Two have been confirmed pregnant and one was just turn with the bull a month ago but quickly was holding her tail to the side. The prettiest heifer is making a nice sack already. After 30+ yrs old beef cattle we are going to give milking...

I have an old Angus cow who late April the vet said was 6 months. She is in a birthing lot and has been for the last month or so. No calf. Lol, he came and palpated a three year old Angus in June who didn't take the first time. He found her to be 5 months. Well, Sunday she laid down and had...

I tried very hard to get the lamb out. I could get one leg and feel the head which was VERY large. I called work and told them I would be a little late but was unsuccessful manipulating the lamb. The ewe was not helping at all. She was fighting me every step of the way.(I really do not like...

My last ewe is in labor. She broke her water? around 6pm this evening. I question because it was very gooey. She then walked around the pasture from 6p-10p when we decided it was time to put her up for the night. I have have stayed with her until now(almost midnight) and she is laying and...

We also had this little guy born! Its been the week of babies. Calves, chicks and lambs!

We had some new lambs yesterday! 2 girls 1 boy. All are small lambs. I would guess 4lbs each.

Following the death of on of our triplets Sunday I noticed today that the mother of them has been distancing herself from the other lambs and when they nurse one side of her milk sac she hold her leg as if it is really hurting her. Just now, my husband and I went back to check another ewe and I...

Thank you to all that responded! My lamb died this afternoon. We wouldn't take the bottle so we put her and the mom in a pen so only she could nurse. She did. She nursed for quite a while then escaped out of the pen. We put her back in with her mom and had to run to my nieces birthday...

I have just found one of my 2 week old lambs lying in the pasture. She was fine this morning. She is the runt of the set of triplets. Any ideas? She is inside but will only slightly hold her head up. please help!

My wool ewe that had lambs a couple weeks ago now has hurt one of her back legs. She is spending most of her time in the shed with the smallest lamb. I am hoping she is continuing to nurse the lambs. Also my other wool ewe has milk coming in well but today she has a milky white discharge...
