[QUOTE="ChipC, post: 1283947, member: 24358"] This may be a dumb question, but I'm new at this so excuse me. I had a cow today that delivered two dead heifer calves. One was very small and didn't even really have hair. Looked more like catfish skin. The other was a little bigger, but still way smaller than what I'm use to. They probably weighed a combined total of 30-40lbs. and their hooves were yellow and very very soft like jelly. Does it sound like they were premature? The 2nd part of my question is probably dumber than the first but here it goes. How exactly do you know for sure they are dead? I tried suctioning the nose and throat, but I never found a pulse or breath. I did this for about 20-30 minutes before I decided for sure they weren't alive, but when I was burying them I still couldn't help but think they could have been alive and I just couldn't tell. Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
