Cows, calves and veterinary

Transition cow

Number 56, within a couple of hours of downcalving. Note the drippping milk - usually a useful sign that calving is imminent.














Here she is, about three hours later.









I'd like to have taken a nice photo of 56 with lively calf at foot, but her calf did not stand that day, and got a lift home on the tractor while Mamma rejoined the milking herd. Here instead is 115 heading off with her twelve-hour old calf anywhere as long as it's away from the camera.
