[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 78948, member: 1258"] I'm with everyone else here, we've had quite a few born with the cow standing and they've never broken their necks. Last year saw one born and when he was dropped on his head it went underneath him just as you describe. Mom turned around to lick him and moved him so his head swung around. I've also had one jump out of the back of a pickup truck and land headfirst with no injuries (don't even ask :oops: ). Anyhow, my point is it is pretty hard to break a calf's neck. I would be thinking it is another cause. Did you move around the head when you found it? Did the neck feel normal? It's tough losing a calf and I think we all say things we need to ask forgiveness for. Hang in there. :) [/QUOTE]
