Welcome To BackYardCows.com !

[Farmer Kitty]

DH and I have had our own farm for 20 years! I grewup helping on the neighbors farm before I was really old enough to be of much help on up until I got married!

The vets do not like emergency calls from me. It is never an easy call for them as we do much of our own vet work. The last calving call we had-if I remember correctly, it's been awhile-was a c-section. I've had them tell me to shutup as I was scaring them with the detailed info I was giving them at the truck!

We are still a small board but I think you will find a lot of info here.

This is sooo cool!!! But...I don't think many of us have cows, huh?? LOL So, how are we going to learn about cows when there's only a couple of cow owners??!! jes' sayin' Any road (British for anyway), I think it's great there's now a BYCows site. Oh. One thing my father taught me when I was a girl... the cows in Canada say "La Mooo". Good ol' dad.

Welcome, I think you will be surprised at how many folks on here either own or have an abundance of know=how on cows. LOL

I think the last C-section we had was $250 but, it's been a few years. That cow has been gone two or three now and she had a couple calves after that! The vet didn't think she would live and if she did he said chances of breeding her back were next to none!

our vet always told us prolapse cows wont breed back.wrong our prolapse cows always bred back no prob.

Ours too! We like to beat the odds here. It's when a vet says the cow most likely won't make it that they do well. We have one vet I call Mr. Doom and Gloom because he always seems to end up here with the worst cases and I say, "Oh good, it's you, she will make it."

I see another member here in Buckley, maybe I've driven past your cows! Anyways I have a lot to learn & excited about my new adventure!
