[QUOTE="slick4591, post: 1182448, member: 16503"] Thanks for the thoughts. The ovary thing through me too, so he probably meant the horns. Not having any idea I thought I'd throw it out there. One thing about my breed is they do tend to throw some heavier birth weights and I'm finding you have to stay on top of things to manage them correctly. His idea was the calf had already grown 7 days prior to transfer so every day over the due date meant the calf was getting larger, maybe to large. I didn't know about the other problems associated with inducing. KB, Just had one that went 6 days over and the bull calf was born dead. I checked on it after a couple of days past the due date and (not really knowing what I was feeling for) I was able to feel the head enough to know it upright and I was guessing it was a good presentation. I think it stayed in the birth canal to long and died there. [/QUOTE]
