[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 64295, member: 57"] Well, while we are telling "weird" stories i'll throw one out too. It was a sunday of course and there was a heifer laying around acting weird like she was trying to have a calf. she wasnt ready, and i could tell, she hadnt dilated and had minimal udder formation, but i kept an eye on her anyway. she would lay down and get up, andfinally started straining towards the end of the day. (i'm about 12 at this time) so i tell dad we need to get the heifer up and have a feel and see whats wrong. so we did, dad felt and felt and couldnt feel a calf in her. perplexed, dad thought maybe she had calved already but i told him no way, there had to be a calf in there. keep feeling. disappointed, we decided to call the vet first thing in the morning. monday morning while i was at school the vet came out and had a look and asked "dont yall ever have anything simple?" the calf had developed in between the uterus and uterine horn. vet had to do a cesaerian, calf was dead, heifer died too. go figure.
