[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1514064, member: 25884"] Yes, I had a first calf heifer have a dead calf on a friday. I had penned her so I could watch her. She was not bagged up real big but enough that I knew she was getting close. I also knew when the bull went in and came out so had an idea of what her due date status could be. So, I was trying to put a calf on her she was okay with it the first few times, but then fought it on Sunday night. On Monday morning I went to the barn and there she was with a newborn, live heifer. This calf was IDENTICALLY marked, with just a smidgen of white on her forehead, but a little more white on the underbelly. She was licking and talking to this calf and did not want me near her. Since the cow had been penned, I know she had both these calves 3 days apart. I talked to a couple of farmers and they said it has been known to happen but not real common. The vet said he had known of 2 cases. So what it is worth, yes it is poossible. If the first calf had been born alive who knows if she would have taken the second. By the way, the live heifer was named Lucky, and she is due with her first AI calf in mid July. The cow had a single the next year and is due again in Sept. [/QUOTE]
