[QUOTE="uplandnut, post: 1716312, member: 24555"] I'm not going to get in to the vaccine or not battle with everyone. However as to your original question, was the calf laying in a position where he couldn't get up? I had a cow and calf one year that laid on an old hay ring and could not get up due to getting overcentered. I caught both of them before they died and they survived. A year later I had a bull do the same thing while I was gone and I came home to a dead bull that had gassed himself. Looked just like you described, bloated and anus pushing out. Those couple times were enough to get me to really cut back on how much I use hay rings, switched to unrolling for the most part. [/QUOTE]
