oops the little guy fell. It looked like he had too much wine there for a minute. :D

With a cow, the majority of afterbirth is born within an hour, two at the most .... then, the cow will "clean out" up to 2 weeks afterwards.
The point of taking the placenta to the vet would be to insure that ALL of it is out. If any piece gets left in, the chances for a horrible infection extremely likely... oops ... mom quit walking on baby!
Anyway, a piece left in will end up in infection and possible scarring that will render the female unable to get pregnant again.
Why did Kay want another filly?

Patches is trying to fill up the empty spot the foal left :lol: :lol: :lol:

That mare is worst than a pig as far as not being concerned about where her baby is when she is lying down, standing up, or rolling around!
My cows are more aware than that ...
horses are nice, but .... their mother instince seems a bit hmmm different! LOL

amma

You will be good to go for Star's mare stare/foaling now :wink:

amma

the others were more aware and careful of their foals...Patches is attentive, but sure not careful

I downloaded them, then opened them with Paint. Once they're open in Paint, I do a "Save As" & save them as JPGs. That way they'll show up here -- I guess bitmap files are too big.
