Granny's gone and done it again

OH and one of my yak "experts" asked if Sheila had be bangs vaccinated and TBH I don't know. I do know ALL of my heifers have been.
Oh, that might be it... had to look it up, but bangs causes abortions and other problems surrounding pregnancy, including "retained placenta with resulting uterine infection." Can you find out if Enola and Sheila were vaccinated? And maybe get the older ones done asap. Said it's very contagious.

not sure if there is "enough" of Enola to check, But when I am at the farm tomorrow I can hold my breath long enough to check Sheila

My understanding to the bangs is they have to be vaccinated by 6 to 18 months old. BUT in cattle at least the cow will/can "self-clean" the virus out as she cycles. For bulls it is a death sentence. Supposedly the herd was "vet checked and certified" brucleoulousis free.

Hopefully it is not that... sounds like a terrible thing. Just hope you can find some answer.

And it's not Granola that's gone, is it? Maggots get the soft tissues right away, so if you don't find any placenta, wouldn't be surprised.

We have that here. Many people get it confused with Queen Anne’s lace, a pretty wild flower.

No. Cows will always have it and pass it to offspring and any bull she mates with. And the bull can pass it to other cows.
Cows may seem infertile but could calve again. It’s also passed through milk. It’s a big ol hot mess. It also mentioned it can be from contaminated feed.
 
I will have to check on that. Problem would be the actual administering of said stuff, AS after calving it is truly NOT safe to get to close to them OR as Rod especially found out try getting them into a squeeze chute
Yes, I think they are dealing with a whole different animal. How would the vet even be able to check her? Could you have gotten her in the chute? Not worth a human life. Luckily this calf will be much tamer than her momma was.
