[QUOTE="docgraybull, post: 66747, member: 885"] If it was bloody, I agree with the others, that it was probably stepped on. I have seen a fully developed, but scrawny short tail that was due to the way the fetal calf was carried in the uterus. Basically it somehow put enough pressure on the tail that it had inadequate blood supply to grow properly. At least that's how the vet explained it, he didn't think it was a genetic defect. The calf was otherwise normal and grew well. [/QUOTE]
