[QUOTE="Wick, post: 316238, member: 5504"] You need to get the cow up ASAP. If they lay around could cause more problems later. The sooner they get up the better. I would skin the dead calf from shoulder to hips and cut some small holes in each side of the skin and tie it onto a replacement calf with baler twine. The cow should take the replacement calf. This works most of the time and not always. She may need coaching to accept the new calf but the hide from the dead calf will definatly help. If you check for twins and all is clear she should clean within a day or so if not try 5-6 cc Lut. This should help her to clean. Sorry for the loss. [/QUOTE]
