[QUOTE="SIMMGAL, post: 1397233, member: 26548"] Many things can cause an animal to deliver early. In fact, I had a calf born about 3 weeks early the other day. Only weighed 40lb sopping wet, but she's really active and is looking good so far. Still haven't figured out what made her come so early since her dam is usually goes 2 weeks past her due date. I have noticed that weather can be a big factor. My cattle love to calve in snow storms and I'm sure I'm not the only one! Haven't had an extreme in cold cause an abortion yet though. Anything that stresses out the cow enough can cause her to pop early. There are also a few diseases that can cause abortions, so testing might be an option. Sorry for your loss! [/QUOTE]
