[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 593800, member: 2308"] Well, We had a calf [b]born[/b] with a broken leg once. It was a hind leg and had broken literally in half about midway up the cannon bone, and had healed (if you want to call it that) with the hoof up beside the hock. We ended up having it amputated as there was a small hole in the hide that would have allowed an infection to set in. Our vet had never seen anything like it before. No idea what exactly happened, whether she fell or was bunted but something obviously did happen. So, I am sure if something like that can happen, a cow could easily abort in similar circumstances. I wouldn't worry too much about having this cow tested unless you have more problems. Last year we had a preemie about a month early, we were able to save him. Our cows are on a vaccination program, but we still have the occaisional abortion too. It happens. Hope you have good luck with the rest of your calving season :hat: [/QUOTE]
