[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1746099, member: 16453"] My neighbour over the back and a few others had a few stillborn calves 2 seasons ago. The local land services Vets diagnosed it as uterine inertia due to low calcium blood levels taken from numerous cows. We were coming out of drought and had very late summer rain and the grass that did best was kikuyu which the cows were chasing. kikuyu contains oxalates which can tie up the calcium and in my opinion due to the late rain the grass really got going and I think the sugars in it made it very palatable to cattle and I think the oxalates may have been greater than normal.
