Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 Dear Mother Hrimati, PAMHO AGTSP Hari Bol! When I was at Gita Nagari we always added 1 week to the due date. It seemes that the Brown Swiss tended to carry an extra week. Keep a close watch on her udder. They tend to swell 3 times the last few days leading up to calving. Also if she is free to roam she will be looking for a comfortable spot to calve in just prior to calving. How many times a day are you checking her? She might need to have some help with the calf. Is she a 1st calf heifer. What breed is she? Was she breed to the same breed? If she was breed to a larger breed and is a 1st calf heifer she may need help during labor to drop her calf. Keep in touch. Hope all is well. yr servant, Balabhadra das - Hrimati (dd) ACBSP (Mayapur - IN) <Hrimati.ACBSP (AT) pamho (DOT) net> Cow (Protection and related issues) <Cow (AT) pamho (DOT) net> Monday, December 02, 2002 8:17 PM due date > If a cow is over her due date, what do you do?

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hare Krishna! Dear Prabhu, She is today carrying 290 days. This is her second calf. I am with her all day and at night I can hear her, as her barn is attached right next to our hut. Vishnupriya is a Holstein cow and breed two times, ones artificial (Jersey) and a second time with an Indian bull (large breed) in the afternoon. We had problems getting her pregnant before. She had been breeding several months with a bull, who had brucelitis (spelling). After the doctor realized this, he cleaned her out and gave her external and internal treatment, after that she finally conceived. Naturally I am concerned about her being so late. She has been showing signs of discharge, swelling of her odder etc. for some time now. My question is what is the acceptable time limit? In humans it is not healthy for the baby to be too much over due. What about cows? y.s. Hrimati dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
