Well, when we went out for chores tonight, we couldn't find Bandit (the new mommy), so I walked the entire pasture. Finally found her tangled in a fence that the neighbor apparently ripped up with his baler while mowing/baling hay and I never noticed the damage. I cut the wires, but we never managed to get the cow to stand up. After her vitamin B shots this afternoon, apparently she started eating again (perhaps too much) and now has bloat. We finally had to give up and come in the house (both of us totally exhausted), the new baby did not get an evening meal, and if Bandit doesn't get up during the night, she might be dead by sunrise. But I cannot stay up all night (as much as I want to) and there is nothing I can do to get her to stand up anyway. Pray she decides to get up and move around soon.
