[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1571668, member: 12520"] Witnessed another calf born backwards today. Cow had a calf at 3:00 am, everything was fine, she was mothering it and calf was getting up. All good at 6:00 am. At 9:00 am I went out and the cow was standing up with a backwards calf out to it's ribs. A few seconds later it hit the ground deader as could be. Obviously took a little to long to get born. Sadly, the live calf is a little heifer, and the expired calf was a nice big bull calf. But, she will raise a calf this summer and that's a good thing. This was our 11th set of twins, and the first mortality to this point so I figure 21 live calves out of a possible 22 is still pretty fair. [/QUOTE]
