[QUOTE="greyhare, post: 842327, member: 16868"] She died before the vet got to our place. She was dead in 2 1/2 hours after we called them. We've never had an animal go down like this before. She seemed to be in labor and we just expected her to abort the calf. My husband got a sleeve on and went inside to check her to see if the feet or head where anywhere near. She was very tight, not dilated as expected. He only felt the sac. I was hoping the vet would have made it in time. After talking to a vet tec and out butcher, slaughtering was not recommened. I didn't bleed her out in time and the blood just had pooled on the entire side. By the time I reached the renderer, she was not longer usable. We buried her. Weird was that when she was still alive, parts of her body seemed cold for a hot day. Her brisket and flank areas were cool to the touch. [/QUOTE]
