[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1205370, member: 9096"] I would guess that the membranes were over the nose and suffocated it like many have said.. I think it's one of the most common causes of calf deaths, and unless you do a biopsy and check to see if the lung tissue floats or not, everything else will seem perfectly normal. I know it's a rough way to end the year.. but remember that it happens to everyone... Our first year we lost 3 calves at birth, one a month later with a broken leg, 1 cow died during calving, and had one prolapse.. That was just calving time... Summertime came and 2 of them got pneumonia and died as well... How many cows did we have? well, we started with 12.. Perhaps that makes you feel a little better. Things have gotten better since.. I've lost 3 calves in the last 120, and I only think I could have maybe done better with 1 of them... I'm crossing fingers for this year of course. [/QUOTE]
