Just so you'll know why I keep thinking my cow is about to calve

She's been doing this for four days.  I've seen lots of cows in labor, and this is exactly how they act.





She'll seem to have a contraction every five minutes or so for perhaps forty-five minutes, then she gets up, goes out to graze, and comes back to peacefully chew her cud.  I think she's doing it for attention!

  2. She looks like she is in pain when she is doing that. I hope you don't have to call a vet. Helen

  4. Do you have a calf puller? I hate when they have to use those but I know its a neccessary evil sometime. Bless Bonnie's heart.

  5. Paula, I'm fairly sure she isn't really in full labor yet; she hasn't had that "water balloon" sticking out of her bottom yet, and I think that would happen, even if there are problems. We don't have a calf puller, but believe me, I'll call the vet if it looks like it's necessary.
