Lost a calf the other day. He was coming tail first. At first the vet thought he was a twin because his head was laying along his right side.
We missed saving him by a couple of hours.
Cow had tried to claim a calf that was born to a different cow. So after we pulled the dead calf we grabbed one of the twins, rubbed him all over with some afterbirth, sprinkled on some Orphan No More and turned them together in a pen.
Checked them a few hours later, nothing. Got him up and started to nurse the cow, she kicked him off a couple of times. Much better yesterday and today looking better and better.
