I have also read about cows eating rubber gloves on other boards, and it seemed like in most cases the cow passed it just fine. But if in doubt, call your vet!
Good luck...and post photos of your new baby when you can!
I don't know anything about Colorado cold, but if mine are pretty much dry and not showing signs of feeling the cold, I try to give them some alone time, until morning.
I also take a mental picture of the udder, even if only one quarter looks smaller the next morning, things are "usually" just fine!
I say usually, because each cow seems to have a mind of her own!
Watch momma to see if she passes the glove. You should see it in her manure within the next couple days. If not call your vet. I think you will be seeing it.
The calf will be fine if kept in a dry and draft free enviroment. They tolerate the cold really well. Just make sure it is eating. Is this a beef cow? Or a dairy cow you intend to milk? The reasons I'm asking is if your going to hand raise the calf and milk mom, when it gets really cold this winter make sure it gets enough milk/milkreplacer and grain so it has the energy to keep itself warm. Also, do beef usually calve this time of the year by you? Here they have them calving in the spring. That way the cow doesn't have milk in her udder during the cold winter months and the calves grow at a faster weight because they don't have to keep themselves warm. It would be something to think about before you breed her back.
Thanks to all for the good advice...
She has not passed the placenta yet... Does anyone have advice for that?
Calf was born about 8 or 9 last night. I can see part of the umbilical cord hanging out.
Got another question for the professionals here...
She is a dairy cow.. How soon should I start milking her. Her utter is quite large and swollen right now... I was told by some other people to start milking her now... But not to keep the milk for the first 3 days.
