[QUOTE="i♥cows, post: 824993, member: 16481"] We vaccinate our cows and calves every year with an 8 Way and a Lepto for breeding. Never had a problem like this before. As far as hanging calves upside down, we place them over a fence as was suggested by one of our vets. What I am hoping to find out is if anyone has seen the problem with the herniated umbilical/navel right after being born. We also lost 2 bred cows (supposed to calve next week). Both were near the fence and looked as if they dropped and died right where they had been standing. They showed no signs of illness and had come up to the feed bunk the previous night. Found them dead around 5 AM the next day. I thought they had been hit by lightning (which is possible as we have been having crazy wet weather), but vet said we would smell and see singed hair. Necropsy showed no obvious signs. Now we are waiting for lab results on organs and stomach contents. Our vet also checked on the calves they were carrying and saw nothing unusual. I still feel that they receieved a hefty shock from ligtning hitting metal corral and elecrtric fence that they were standing next to. But with the last two cows that have calved dead calves, I am starting to think that all the events are somehow related. [/QUOTE]
