[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1356884, member: 24027"] Fire Sweep, I am really sorry about the calf. We've been able to save a couple 40 lb preemies (who are now on their 4th & 1st calves) but you can't fight Mother Nature - there was just something wrong with that calf to begin with and you fortunately still have the cow. SD, I agree with Margonme and if I recall correctly in a previous post, the large calf was definitely a surprise for Nesi. Been there. Had to pull an enormous bull calf from a heifer this year; calf was dead & heifer was down/pinched nerve for a month. The bull had not thrown anything larger than 75 lbs & both our vets (2 in the same practice) said "It can happen". Right, wrong, follow the rules - all are subjective and subject to change for no apparent reason. [/QUOTE]
