[QUOTE="SpringHill Farms, post: 252377, member: 1794"] I have went over this a million times in my mind. I can't figure out what happened to her. I agree I should have had a autopsy done on her, but it has been around 100 degrees the last 4 days here. When I buried her yesterday she was looking and smelling pretty bad. I wouldn't really want to haul her in that state. All the cows/calves had finished eating the grain and were standing around like normal. That's when this calf just started running around bawling and fell over. I was only 20 yards away the whole time. I would of heard her if she was choking or gagging on something. I'm leaning toward the heat now. All the cows have access to the automatic waterer and there was plenty of shade. I looked up symptoms of blackleg and I agree I don't think that was the case. This calf was looking great. I've had lots of calves that you can tell aren't feeling that great, but this was not the case with this calf. I'm thinking heat and maybe that caused a organ failure. I'm now trying to get the cow to take a holstein bull calf and so far it's going pretty well. Thanks for all your suggestions and help. [/QUOTE]
