[QUOTE="jlahc, post: 345714, member: 5903"] Just thought I'd post and let everyone you was nice enough to provide suggestions know what the problem was. This morning we went to check on her and she was in the middle of pushing out a dead calf :( She got it out on her own, and then we checked her to make sure she didn't have another calf inside her (she didn't). She got up and seems to be cleaning out nicely. Her ears are up and her eyes are not glazed over any more. She was actually interested in the hay and grain we put out for her too, which was nice to see. We'll probably treat her with penecillin and give her a few days to rest and then let her back out. We're not sure if we will keep her or ship her out yet. We are on a vaccination program, and the cows all get mineral and vitamins in their diet, so we aren't sure what caused it. We talked to the vet, and unless we have another cow with problems, we aren't going to pursue the expense of finding out what killed the calf. Thanks again for all your ideas/suggestions. Its an unfortunate ending, but at least we learned from it. [/QUOTE]
