[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 79613, member: 1132"] Yep, some strange things happen - when you think all that could happen has happened, some new catastrophe strikes. I too have had the neck under the calf problem - I found one dead like that last year. I assumed that since the ma had not moved it, that it just plain suffocated due to the neck/head being in such a contorted position. I also like bward, rescued one that I found in the same position shortly after birth. Ma was yelling at it to get up but not bumping it. At first, like you, the calf looked so odd I couldn't figure out what I was looking at - rolled it over & left the Ma to do the rest - a happy ending for that one! :D On the other hand had I not been there in a timely mannor, I feel that it would have died like the first one I described (actually from a timeline standpoint the one that I "saved" was many years ago).
