[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1764961, member: 9933"] I would bet she tried to have the calf, and it was coming wrong. Maybe butt first. The calf died inside her and that resulted in her also dying. Buzzards, coyotes or other scavengers found her and started on that soft opening in back, and ate their way in. I have come across other cows that look like this on neighboring ranches during calving season. We try to check cows at least twice a day on this place during calving so we have a chance to save the cow when something like that goes wrong. I would have been tempted to cut into her to see what was going on, although that would depend on how nasty she was by the time she was found. [/QUOTE]
