[QUOTE="SFrey, post: 1569123, member: 38367"] I just had my first heifer lose her first calf today. I'm not a beef man but I've been in the egg layers for a spell. I recently decided to buy a couple head of cattle and get my feet wet. She's a 3/4 waygu 1/4 herford cross and looks great. Today she was walking with her tail up so I figured she was gonna drop a calf. When I got to her she was trying to push it out but couldn't get anything to move. We got her into the chute and when we checked her the calf was dead. Trying to pull on a leg would get you a bone or two. When we pulled on the back the spine and ribs came out. We finally got it all out and she passed a mess of fluid. She's been walking around and eating. When we got ahold of the vet he didn't seem to worried. He never came out (Sunday). I'm worried that she might get sick from having having the calf in there so long. Should I get another vet to come check her and what should I be watching for. [/QUOTE]
