A not so funny cow story

[Chris aka Barney]

Our Black Angus, Maggie, had prolapsed, we called Doc ross and he came over. We had her in a holding pen, but she wanted nothing to do with the pinch. There were 3 of us. Vet, me and my husband. The vet gave her s smack on the rear to make her move. She turned around and rammed me 7 times befor they could get to me. She hit my back with her head, and slammed me up against a steel fenc.e, the side of the barn and I put my arms wrapped around me and she hit me striaght on. Thi past Novemember I had back surgery with rods, screws and donor bone. April I had another. I still need surgery on the lower part of my neck. I wasn't angry with her...she was in pain. We had to have her put down....she was a good cow.

I didn't even noticed it wasn't in there. With cattle that is what a prolapse is so I just read it that way.

Eventually the vet did just that. He sewed her back up, but she kept rubbing on the fence and it prolapsed again. He did it one more time and then when her uterus came out for the 3rd time, I called Doc Ross and he helped me make up my mind to let her go.

I really get super involved with all the animals here. Years ago I worked for a large and small animal hospital. Our daughter Cori did the same. We were always bringing some critter home that no one else wanted.

Well, I better get out of this chair...later!

Thanks...
Maggie was my first cow. We bought her breed. We named her calf Lady McDuff....she was so fancy.... that had to be her name!
