A first for me this AM. One of my heifers had a stillborn a couple of days ago. Thought it was odd. Didn't notice any signs of struggle or difficult birth. Heifer was up and moving along well and had cleaned her calf. We buried the calf. This morn found the heifer lying in a pool of her own blood, near dead. Judging the amount of blood I reckon I'll be dragging her off by noon. Anybody care to share on this type of problem? This has been the worst calving season by far for me, between stillborns, abandoned calves and now a dead heifer. Herd is well vaccinated, calves are not overly large.
