[QUOTE="darcelina4, post: 1476710, member: 27059"] I do not believe it was a slow death. It looked like he went to get a drink and tipped forward into the tub the ended up with all 4 feet in the tub that had a couple inches of water and ice. I think the just couldn't get his footing to get his head up. I bet the whole thing was less than 5 minutes. The bedding around the tub wasn't disturbed. I still cannot believe how this happened with such a small tub. He was a big jersey and 300 pounds and only the top half of his body was above the tub. The tub is about 18 inches tall. I hope the meat was good. I hated the thought of him going to waste but I couldn't butcher him as I was attached to him and I did not want my dogs eating a calf when my heifers are due to start calving next month. [/QUOTE]
