[QUOTE="MudHog, post: 1237015, member: 21686"] Last weekend I had an unexpected calf delivered. The heifer that calved had miscarried May of last year. She didn't have a big belly, but she had a big bag as of lately. Bull stays in our pasture, but I was suspecting false pregnancy. This means she would have bred back in June or a month after she miscarried. She had her calf fine, but after watching him for a 2-3 hours, he couldn't get himself up. I walked over and picked him up on his feet and felt him take on his own weight. Felt like a power switch was turned on. From there, he tried to nurse, but the heifer kept moving and putting her head to his head and would walk backwards a couple steps. Was she doing this to try and get him to move. It just looked as if she was trying to do that. He is nursing and doing good, but the head butting and walking backwards is baffling me. [/QUOTE]
