How many legs must a cowboy tie in calf roping?

In calf roping, a cowboy must tie three of the calf's legs together. The tying of the legs must be secure but not too tight to avoid causing harm to the animal.


How long is a cows labor if the calf is breech and the feet are out?

It'll go a lot quicker if you get in there and pull the calf out as fast as possible. Backwards calves, in most cases if you see it happening, should be pulled ASAP. Don't wait for the cow to do it, because it the calf has no space to breath if the cow decides to stop pushing and take a rest. You MUST get that calf out immediately so it can live and breath, otherwise you will end up with a stillborn calf on your hands.

Why is the leg calf called that?

This is a guess. This is not scientific nor verifiable but I BELIEVE it has to do with the gastrocnemius muscles being so well developed on farmers and ranchers and cowboys and cowgirls and others who spend their lives riding horses. Maybe "calf" was cuter than "cowboy legs" which would sound more like bow legs. There is a country song, " With calves like that, you must be a cowgirl"


What is the correct birth position for calves in cows?

A calf must be born with both front feet first and head in between the front feet, like in a diving position of a diver. The front feet must be pointing downwards, back feet out and upwards, and the whole body straight, not twisted up.

Is it cruel to separate a cow from it's calf?

That's your opinion, and it depends on whether you are referring to dairy production, weaning as separating like that in beef herds, or another reason that requires a calf to be separated from its dam or vice versa. As far as dairy production is concerned, it may seem cruel to separate a calf from a cow that has just bonded with it, like after a day or two, but it's necessary because it's not a great idea nor is it productive to have a whole pile of calves loose in the barn or having to contend with being separated from their mothers for a short time twice a day when their mothers are being milked. The cows only bawl for their calves for a few days, then soon forget them and settle down to regular routine. It is not cruel to separate a cow from it's calf during a time when calves MUST be weaned from their dams, especially when they don't need their mother's milk anymore. You may consider it cruel if the weaning process involves separating cow and calf into separate pastures where they can't hear, see or smell each other, but not if they are only separated by a fence or the Eezy-Wean nose ring is used for a short period before the calves are actually separated from their dams. It is not cruel if you have to separate a cow from her calf if the cow cannot care for that calf for whatever reason: either she died from a complications, cannot get up after a difficult delivery, doesn't have enough milk to feed her calf and the calf needs to be orphaned onto another cow, the cow won't accept her calf despite everything a producer tries to do and has to bottle-feed or put the calf on a nurse cow, the calf has to be kept in a protected area because it is sick or injured or otherwise too weak to be able to keep up and suckle from its mother, etc. in these cases, mom and calf have to be separated, and, if and when necessary reunited only briefly to feed the calf its mother's milk.

How long after a cow calves will she have milk?

A cow can lactate for as long as a couple years if she is still being milked, or if her calf hasn't been weaned (or she hasn't weaned her calf). However a cow is most productive during her first 3 to 4 months of lactation after parturition.

When should you remove cow afterbirth?

For dairy operations, they should be separated when the calf is a day or two old. These calves must be fed milk replacer in a bottle or bucket until they are around 3 months of age when they can be weaned and be on a diet of hay and grain. Dairy bull calves often don't have the luxury of meeting up with their mothers again. However, dairy heifers that are going into milk production may, though they don't have as much of a social structure between each other as beef cows do, since they spend most of their time in a stall. For beef operations, calves should be weaned when they are between 6 and 10 months old. If the cow is getting too thin before the calf is 6 months old or there is not enough feed to have the cows feed their calves to 6 months, early weaning at 3 or 4 months of age may be neccessary. Calves can either be separated by fence, or by taking them away to another pasture. But if calves are weaned with a EasyWean nose ring, they aren't separated from their mothers but instead allows the nose ring to make their mothers wean them. Heifers in these kind of herds never really leave their mothers nor sisters and aunts, but stay with them for life. Those heifers that are not good enough to stay on the farm, though, have to be separated from their dams. Steers, on the other hand, and most bull calves, are separated from their mothers by the time they are around 6 to 10 months of age.
