[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1034302, member: 5956"] If the stuff coming out smells like a dead thing, I'd suspect the calf wasn't alive when it was born. What did the calf smell like, or was that a step further than you would have gone? (I smell everything as part of checking in those situations; it can tell you a lot.) It's quite possible the cow won't clean. Watch her for any sign of feeling a bit sick - ears down, sitting around looking sad. If there's any sign at all of that, she'll need antibiotics to stop her getting sicker, at which point you'll need quick access to a vet. Another thought: no sign of the cord on the calf may be because the calf was already starting to decompose (happens very quickly in that warm environment after the 'seals' are broken) and the cow could easily have pulled it off when cleaning it.
