[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1691985, member: 24027"] You said her hips were pretty narrow, so I'm assuming you didn't have her pelvic measured prior to either retaining or breeding her. Regardless of whether it wasn't a huge calf and if she was bred to a calving ease bull, if her pelvis is too small, there will be problems. I agree it's possible you missed the signs of labor. Did you vet give you any indication how long the calf had been dead? Give her penicillin or suggest you keep an eye on her for signs of infection? Personally, I wouldn't keep the heifer, but it's entirely up to you. [/QUOTE]
