We have a pregnant cow that has been down for 3 days. We thought it might have grass tetany. We have poked a hole in her and air and some foamy stuff came out, we have given her the medication orally and through IV and given her a shot of antibiotics. When we did the IV she had a bowel movement and burping. She is alert and looks good. Is it possible that her calf is laying on a nerve?

I am looking to buy 2 bulls at a sale. However, I have already purchased 6 Angus bulls from this ranch, 2 New Design, 2 Right Time, and 2 Coalition Line and I have used the Traveler line. If I eliminate all the bulls in the sale catalog that have a great grand-mother or great great grandfarther that is related to the bulls lines that I already own, this is eliminating most of the bulls that I am considering. Can I buy bulls that are related 2 or 3 generations back and not have any inbreeding problems in my herd?

I have a mature cow I found nursing a calf (surprised because she wasn't due for 3 weeks). At the same time, my heifer was bawling (like for her calf), about the time her calf was due, but her udder did not look full or sucked on. She has either lost her calf or the cow "stole" it. Three weeks later I found a calf, just born, with no mother with it. My question is, do you think the mature cow could have "adopted" the heifer's calf and that's why she was looking for her calf, or do you think the cow had 2 calves 3 weeks apart?
