[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 313347, member: 968"] I would venture to guess the calf was dead and that is why she went into labor. Why was it dead? Who knows? If you have vaccinated for abortion diseases like IBR & PI3 & Lepto, I wouldn't be concerned. If not ---- well, only time will tell. You did the right thing, and even if it was alive at birth, it most likely would not have lived - most of the time the lungs are not developed enough. I have to say, I WOULD NOT try to put a new calf on her. First you say you don't have the time - and it will take time even if it's easy. 2nd, you are risking the health of your next calf crop having a calf come onto your land from another farm. No matter how healthy it is or how great a health program the previous owner had, that calf will have "bugs" that your cows will NOT be giving immunity to her newborn. Sure you may not have any problem - but if you do - trust me, the risk is not worth it! [/QUOTE]
