[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1641089, member: 16453"] It is tough to lose them but at least it is not any mysterious cause for your losses. I don't think the head butting would have damaged the unborn calf, more like a malpresentation. Looks like a back leg in the photo though a bit hard to see. A breech birth is a common cause of a dead calf rotting inside them as no limbs protrude to suggest there is a problem happening. An emphasematous calf can be removed in pieces and many of them will breed back OK. Just one of those "pleasant" jobs a vet gets to do. Ken [/QUOTE]
