"chickenista wants $100,000"

chickenista 12/07/07 08:18 PM

Thank you ! I figured that if you had the power to move a laboring cow........

heinola honey 12/07/07 08:19 PM

should we all take a wager on what the exact time will be?

HazyDay 12/07/07 08:19 PM

It is a bull look at the HUGE head. Plus curly hair!

I will show you a pic of when she has it......if she ever has it!! :)

barnyardfun 12/07/07 08:23 PM

WHOO! Look at her go now! Come on girl! Geez....I have no life. :rolleyes:

Blossomgapfarm 12/07/07 08:23 PM

Geez this is making me wish I could help her! Bless her heart!

Oh, Hazy, I would like $100,000 to!
Dawn

KimM 12/07/07 08:23 PM

She looks like she could use a little help!

Blossomgapfarm 12/07/07 08:24 PM

Barnyardfun, post the last shot - head and feet!

HazyDay 12/07/07 08:25 PM

All she needs to do now is stand up and out will come baby.

ladycat 12/07/07 08:25 PM

I see head and front legs!

Mind you, the only births I have witnessed have been African hoofstock and they go pretty quick.. lest something eat them... it has been an hour and a half since we first saw presentation... normal in domesticated animals?

Up North 12/07/07 08:30 PM

Just me but I would of pulled the calf a while ago.
Heather

cowkeeper 12/07/07 08:31 PM

Looks like a girl head to me :) I usually give them a little traction at this point, but more for my sake than the cows' :)

Teacupliz 12/07/07 08:31 PM

Me also. That newest pic doesn't look good. It does look dead to me

barnyardfun 12/07/07 08:32 PM

Boy I bet that calf would sure appreciate her moving away from the pen!! OUCH!

chickenista 12/07/07 08:33 PM

I wasn't gonna say it.... and now with the walls....

Blossomgapfarm 12/07/07 08:34 PM

Kinda worried here too

dosthouhavemilk 12/07/07 08:34 PM

There go the shoulders...should be quick now...darn shame she's delivering it through the bars!!!!

Up North 12/07/07 08:34 PM

I hope there's no gutter for the calf to fall into. It looks like it's going to be born outside of the pen.
Heather

dosthouhavemilk 12/07/07 08:35 PM

There's been a cart situated at that point in past shots, so I'm pretty sure it is solid floor.

barnyardfun 12/07/07 08:36 PM

Now really....what are the chances of her getting lined up so perfectly that the calf is going right thru those bars! :rolleyes: Amazing!

Here we go!

cowkeeper 12/07/07 08:37 PM

Relax guys and gals, I'm sure there is a pair of capable hands right behind the camera :)

Teacupliz 12/07/07 08:37 PM

Hey our last calf was found in the gutter and she is the strongest healthy calf ever- they are durable-

HazyDay 12/07/07 08:37 PM

Next shot it should be out! Dead or not this is so mean! waiting that is!

NOPE! It is still hanging on!

chickenista 12/07/07 08:38 PM

ok..... where did the head go? And what am I seeing? I thought it had a black/white head and two legs........never mind.. he turned it... ouch.

barnyardfun 12/07/07 08:39 PM

The crew has stepped in!

HazyDay 12/07/07 08:40 PM

Hello person in the cam!

I assumed we were looking at the belly? :shrug: Hard to tell in black and white.....it all blends!

dosthouhavemilk 12/07/07 08:40 PM

You were seeing it's abdomen with it stuck at the hips....

ladycat 12/07/07 08:41 PM

Is that Jeff?

HazyDay 12/07/07 08:41 PM

It is a girl I see way to much white for a bull (If it looks like mother then bull if looks like sire then girl.)

chickenista 12/07/07 08:42 PM

Well.. calf out of shot... hope all is well. Boy, she looks beat and rightly so.
And camera off!!! oh dear.

barnyardfun 12/07/07 08:42 PM

Baby gone........

horsehelper 12/07/07 08:42 PM

ah hah! Had to go to company Christmas party, and just got back. Though for sure we'd miss the whole thing. Come on Indus...You go girl!!!
