You not only want to avoid breaking the placenta, you also need to be careful not to break any blood vessels in the uterus. Patience is vital for this, as you showed.

[@lynnhexler-haan3357]

@ Stephanie Wilson In delivery of the placenta by CCT ( + post delivery check for complete placenta & membranes) the uterus will contract down fully over the area of placental insertion, acting like a " living ligature" in closure of the uterine vessels.Strictly speaking there is no damage to uterine vessels. The greater risk from retained products would be secondary haemorrhage & infection.

I can imagine. If it breaks off, I can't imagine how difficult it would be to try to get it all cleaned out then. This definitely teaches patience! This video was truly interesting to see.

[@msdustismith8919]

The babies have already come out, so being careful of the uterine blood vessels aren't an issue, but being gentle for the mother is just being humane and loving and caring, and taking care of your stock and taking care of your animals is obviously vital to surviving and keeping the farm up and running, so ya don't go broke...

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

It took me several days to work up to this, but I’m glad I finally watched it. When my goat kidded last summer, she passed most of the two placentas promptly (she had twins), but continued to bleed and pass chunks of tissue for about a week. I was really worried she wouldn’t completely clean out and I’d have to go in after the rest. Thankfully, she finally did it on her own. She’s pregnant again and I’ve got my fingers crossed. This video will sure help me if I have to do a Dr. Poll on her this time!

[@walkswithsword]

One thing to consider with goats is that their tissues are more delicate. Here we tie the hanging placenta up with feed bag string within a few hours of birthing. If it hasn’t passed in eight hours, we will add the weight of a wet hand towel by tying it to the tied up wad of placenta. It keeps the animal from stepping on it and tearing the placenta and the added weight does the same job he did just more slowly. I’ve heard of adding gloves or bags full of water, but I’ve never needed to do much more than a wet towel. This works for horses and cows too.

[@carlasouthwell7422]

Was that your goats first kid last year?

[@sofiabent9129]

I've heard from other goat people that offering warm water with some molasses helps prevent retained placentas. When my goat had her babies I gave her a bucket of warm water with molasses and raw apple cider vinegar. She liked it and drank a bunch which made me happy. I checked on her again maybe an hour later and both placentas were on the ground (she had twins).

Definitely means that theres a more likely chance of it but that doesnt mean it will happen. When i was younger my dad gave me and my brother each a heffer.

However we have had that cow since for around 11 or so years and she hasnt had a single set of twins since. However being that she has had twins and on one occasion when a bull broke out has had 2 calfs in 1 year we know her to be a fertile and good mother.

Ah, this brings back memories. I was about 9 or so when my mom became a vet assist in Wyoming. On weekends sometimes I'd go with her and I got to see a lot of stuff that was sometimes hard to watch. For instance, the range cow that had a fetus die inside of her and my mom up to her shoulder trying to pull it out by hand. Had to hook up a chain around the calf's hoof and pull it out that way. The cow had been out for awhile. Lots of bad smells that day. Another one was the horse that ran into a barbwire fence at full gallop. Chunks of flesh were hanging and maggots and rotten meat everywhere. Another smelly time. But through it all I learned a lot and to this day I appreciate what ya'll do.

You are so kind to your ANIMALS and it’s AMAZING that you do ALL of this on your own….It’s unbelievable that she gave birth to 2 babies she looks so small…..

[@thepostpartumdoula2602]

I’m studying to be a lactation consultant (for humans) lol so cows could be WAY DIFFERENT but I noticed you said in the beginning that she wouldn’t make enough milk for twins. When the placenta is still in the body it can delay milk production. When it comes out it signals the body to start the production. So if the second placenta stayed in for 3 days after birth it could slow down the milk production and thus make it hard to produce enough milk for twins. Also letting both babies nurse as often as they want stimulates more milk production and teaches the body how much milk is needed. So keeping both babies with the mom at all times and allowing them to nurse on demand will tell her body to make enough milk for the twin babies. Could be totally wrong about cows, but that’s how it is for humans. So next time i wouldn’t wait so long to get the placenta out and see if you notice more milk. Awesome video! 😍 I love birth, and lactation 😍 even if it’s animals lol

That's what unfortunately happened to me after my first birth.

When I had my first baby he was breech, and the afterbirth wasn’t complete, they gave me Ergometrin, it just encourages your body to squeeze it out, breast feeding, when you first start, has a similar effect. Not the most comfortable, but if it needs doing, it needs to be done.

Nice work, most people don’t have that good of a touch/patience . I have heard of farmers tying a brick on the end to add some traction.

[@vegasbattleborn1594]

Wow, that's amazing! I've seen some neat stuff in my life but that was cool. Great husbandry.

[@Freiya2011]

Somebody with empathy and brains... thank you!

[@alyssad4963]

The way I held my breathe when you had to grip it by that tiny piece! Also loved seeing the baby wait for mama to be done ❤️

[@romystumpy1197]

Great feeling when its out

[@fahimaabdullah8084]

Thanks, Farmer Tyler Ranch family😊. I do not have a farm, and I never wanted one. But I do respect farmers. We would be so sad without ya!

[@Sam-black]

Great video, thank you so much! You leave me with a confidence that I can deal with this problem if necessary.

[@carolineramage7480]

What a nice farmer. He did a great job. Respectful, gentle and very skilled. 👏

[@nige2377]

Great informative video Tyler, keep up the good work.

[@AnneMoshtael]

Very interesting and well done! Patience is key!! Thank you so much for the lesson! Hope mom & baby are well!

[@GretchenAmyReilly]

I'm so glad she is feeling better and that you are paying such attention and care to her and all the animals. How amazing :):):):) thank you for caring for them.

[@Doobie603]

Thanks for showing you washing your hands after....it just made me feel a whole lot better.

[@allysonh6410]

You made that look easy. Good job, Tyler. That baby is just too cute for words lol

[@mekosmowski]

I gave you a like but I'm not watching this one. My wife's placenta didn't want to detach so I've already seen more of this sort of thing than I ever needed. Thanks for caring for your animals.

[@jjcactusandsucculents-open2156]

Looks like you got her fixed up Tyler. Her and the calf look great! Thank you for sharing! :-)

[@sawdust2556]

That was beyond nerve wracking. Great job. Slow and steady won the race.

[@evieuretsky9997]

Pretty cool process, one of my goats retained her placenta, first time freshner, I finally had to flush her with a medicated flush. Hope you have a great day.

It just goes to show, farmers of all kinds deserve so much respect. There are things yall hafta suck it up and do just to get things done and take care of your animals. Sometimes I'm sure those things hurt your heart but hafta be done. Other timesheet, probably daily, there are things you hafta do just to take good care of your stock that you probably don't wanna be doing but y'all do because of the love and respect you have for your animals. Farmers don't get an inkling of the respect that they should. Thanks for videos like this, whether to educate fellow farmers or to show us non farmers the amazing, hard, unbelievable and sometimes super gross things yall hafta do whether yous want to or not. Much respect to you all.

[@kimnisley2563]

That went really well with little stress on her or calf. How is the bottle baby doing?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

So far so good. She’s got one heck of an appetite which is a great sign!

[@landracriswell437]

I didn’t find this gross! I thought that it was smart thinking on your part to assist the livestock with what needed to be done!! You are a caring rancher 😊

[@darlenehutchison802]

Locking her in to the chute reminds me of getting a mammogram. She's a sweet little girl 🌺

[@jellofish1455]

Why did a watch this while nauseous...thanks for helping me finaly chuck up what my stomach didn't like.

[@ianbenjamin5545]

Very informative video! Thanks! I learned a lot!

[@Selaithify]

Thank you for showing this. I have watched TONS of birth videos for livestock but only just now saw this one video. I knew that livestock had to have this done sometimes but wondered why nobody displayed this.

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Great information for how to do it correctly.

[@tedduke1699]

Well done. I've never done it, but watched a vet do it thirty years ago.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Good topic and video as always Tyler. Having read a few of the comments it show the broad spectrum of people and experience of those who follow your channel, Kudos to one and all. We too have prophylacticly followed up with a dose of LA200 but close follow up like you do would make that option a +/- choice in my opinion. Good job.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Bob. I probably would have given her LA if it was easier to get. As it is now I got to drive to Reno or get a prescription from a vet so I use it sparingly!

[@robertsimmons3556]

@@farmertylerranch4399 I hear YA!

[@jameshenderson3238]

Tyler, what a great informative video.....on taking care of the retained placenta problem. I used to have a good dog that would help me but did not understand the word , "gentle" when removing the placenta from the attached cotyledens. You described the process very well....
