Went to one of my shed's this morning to find one of my Beefmaster cows standing over her dead calf. She evidently had it last night, when it was storming / raining and must have gotten crowded in the shed; and she never got the sack completely off the newborn heifer. Still had some of it on her nose and eyes. suffocated I guess. Man... I hate to lose a calf!!!
I kinda figured she must have ingested alot of dirt (from inside the shed) and maybe couldnt complete the job. She is a 10 yr old cow and she has always calved every February, with no problems. I know its part of the business, but I still hate to lose one.
