Well last week was pretty much the wek from hell. Problems and calamitys just kept lining up to challenge me .
Chloanne Addison Gracious decided to calve on Thursday morning . Not only was she rude enough to give me a bull calf , but then she decided to lie down and get bloat. By the time I was there she was massive and I had to call for help just to get her up and have a bloody large burp ! Then on Friday it was the herd competition. This went fairly okay except I don't think the judge liked the cow family, the progeny group or the herd in general.
However he did like the cow I put forward, Chloanne Webster Gracious, who I must say was looking like perfection.
So this weekend I have been off .So why does it NEVER feel like that.
This time I get a phone call at 7.45 to tell me of a cow that is lying flat out having just had a dead calf.When I go to investigate , I find ANOTHER cow down with milk fever and she has not calved. In the process of all this happening , I just happen to ask is Chloanne Addison Gracious is okay, to be told that she is absoulutely fine .
Since the vet is now coming to the other cows later that day, I arrange for the vet to see Gracious. Wrll to cut a long story short, she had a temperature of 106 and was not really a happy bunny.
She is now on antibiotics and is looking much brighter already.
Ah, the joys of the weekend off.!!!!!!!!
