[QUOTE="J Hoy, post: 1751645, member: 16398"] That seems like a lot of deaths. Did you check the bite on the dead calves for underbite? Also, you can cut the calf open and check the heart and lungs. If the heart has an enlarged right ventricle and an underbite, it was likely exposed to pesticides that disrupt fetal development. The lungs are also usually affected, with white areas on the lungs or inflammation of the lungs. If the lungs are inflamed, the lung surface is kind of bumpy and not smooth like it should be. You do not have to be a science major to see these things, so you can examine your calves and don't have to pay a veterinarian to do it. If the calves have a normal bite and the heart and lungs appear to be normal, the deaths are likely from some other cause. I think I put a photo document on that shows what a normal heart looks like on white-tailed deer in comparison with hearts from white-tailed deer both fawns and adults with various amounts of enlargement of the right ventricle. Hearts from other mammals and from birds that died often had the right ventricle enlarged, especially if they had birth defects, like underbite, overbite, contracted tendons, herniated umbilicus, disrupted hair or feather development or other.
