[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11381"] The calf didnt starve to death. it may have just been a weak calf. breech calves are prone to drowning during delivery and if it inhaled anything into its lungs,that could make it susceptible to pneumonia and such. you have to be careful when and if you bottle feed for the same reason, the healthiest calf could be dead the next morning if you get it down the wrong pipe. as far as the other calf same thing (more of less) goes -it could have suffocated if he wasnt cleaned off around the head or probably had already suffocated during a difficult delivery (i gathered it was difficult since she didnt get up pretty quick). otherwise sounds like the two cases are unrelated. just a run of bad luck, it comes in streaks like that you know. the only advice i have is to use low birth weight epd bulls on your heifers and keep a close watch on them. hope your luck improves..
