[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1470603, member: 18809"] I can say that cow had a calf, since the uterus is inside out! Those brown spots are where the placental membrane attaches to the uterus, cotyledons. That is where the nutrition is passed to the calf. So, no calf in that uterus after death, thus a calf somewhere. The calf could have nursed the cow before she died, or right after, and gotten the necessary colostrum. That cow looks like she struggled before dying, since there are wear marks around her feet and face. Likely she calved, the calf nursed, and then she prolapsed and died. Did you pull the placenta away from her or did you find it like that? If you found it like that, then the cow got up after calving, which makes it likely the calf did nurse her. So you found the calf 5 or 6 days AFTER the cow died? That calf had to be stealing milk from someone. Good thing you checked on her and found the calf... double loss is even harder! [/QUOTE]
