[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 78932, member: 57"] Ive seen a lot of cows calve standing up and ive never seen one break its neck either. my guesses are: the calf may have already suffocated before being expelled from a standing position, it may have inhaled fluids/sac being twisted and not able to get its head up to sneeze and shake after being expelled from a standing position, or the cow may have somehow crushed it or broken its BACK by laying down while the calf was still hanging out of her. I dont know how many ive seen land flat on its head and i would swear that calf had to have broken its neck and a few seconds later they start trying to flip over. [/QUOTE]
