Most people would probably be too ashamed to post anything like this but i thought maybe someone (me?) might learn something from this. This calf was born to a heifer, the legs were so twisted that during birth the hoofs were upside down. i was sure it was backwards, but since she was progressing pretty well i didnt assist, just watched closely. she had the calf on her on, the amnion was extremely thick so i ran the cow off and got it off, only to find this grotesque little calf inside. i was relieved that it wasnt alive. legs were quite short, ears not developed well, had testicals though, legs severely twisted and the obvious nose deformity.
It didnt look quite fullterm, but i had recorded her being bred 9.5 months ago.. so she was right on time according to my records but she could easily have come in again and i missed it. she didnt really dilate much and bagged up the day before. i noticed her acting strange the night before. anyway, heres the pic.
