[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 316181, member: 2308"] 1. Do your best to get her up. The sooner she is on her feet the better. Plus then the weight of the placenta will help her to clean. 2. I would get rid of the dead calf. Take it far enough that she cannot still find it. This will make it easier if you plan to adopt a calf on her. 3. The calf could have died during birth. Could have been stillborn, or even have had the sack over its nose. 4. The umbilical cord may or may not be attached at birth. As long as the calf was coming forwards the umbilical cord shouldn't have affected the outcome. 5. The length of time the birth took doesn't seem too long. I would think that the calf was born dead and that there is nothing you could have done about it. I would check her for twins too, especially if the calf seems pretty small. [/QUOTE]
