[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1379564, member: 13402"] I did give some wrong information. I said they were about the same size, I assumed that based on the photos. Ronnie ( the boss) informed me that calf #2 was only about 40 to 45 pounds. We were very fortunate that the cow was able to go ahead and have #2 his tissue was tearing. The boss was amazed it wasn't stinking. Both calves were Bulls. I have heard stories about this happening, but never seen it, sure hope this is a first and last time for this learning experience. Jscunn I am going to give Dr Hank a call this is odd enough to warrant a conversation. I believe the photo was taken right after delivery, I think she may have stood up and the leg turned when it hit the ground. The decomposition was pretty advanced bases on the hair loss and skin decomp. My guess that had she waited another day or two we would have had to pull #2 out in bits and pieces. I want to check with Dr Hank to see if we should treat the cow and calf with some antibiotics, just to be on the safe side. Gizmom Gizmom [/QUOTE]
