[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1672662, member: 24027"] And because today couldn't suck any more, found an almost 2 day old dead calf. Born Thursday night during a freak rain/sleet/snow storm but deep in the woods with good protection. Had a hard time tagging/working him yesterday morning because he was nursing when I went out. Sweetest mama ever, I tagged him while he was latched on. Waited 'till he was done, and gave him the thigh squeeze while he was still standing to insert the First Defense bolus & Inforce 3. Darn near bucked me off. Seemed fine yesterday afternoon, curled up next to her. Couldn't find him this morning. Search ensued this afternoon and finally found him, with mama standing over him, bawling her heart out. Two now enormous teats, two looked fine. She's still in the woods, I'm not bringing her down to barn to check, but I can only assume she has mastitis and he didn't get enough colostrum & milk because everything else on him looks perfectly normal. Only other scenario I can think of, is that she stepped on him. Wine, party of one tonight. [/QUOTE]
