[QUOTE="Davy_g, post: 8107298, member: 3544"] Morning all, Looking some experiences. I had a cow due on the 1st April (a bad date i know). Anyway two weeks after that date she had went backwards if anything from calving and I had one vet check her out. He thought something inside here about 4 to 4.5 months old and potentially viable - he suggested we wait a month and scan again. Once i did my sums i realised she wasnt with the bull then and couldnt be incalf to that date having been previously canned incalf to the April date. So i had her checked again by another vet (both are very good) and i highlighted my concerns re dates. So he agreed to give her a shot of estrumate. She passed something id say was closer to 7 months gestation yesterday (it had been dead a good while by the grey/brown colour of fluids and the birth sack). Covered her with AB's and will have the vet examine her tomorrow. So what i want to know is: Why? I have never eperienced this. I was reading papers on it last night and i put it down to a hurt (another cow hitting her). Has nayone had any other thoughts or experiences on this. A few of the articles suggested the dam would be prone to this happening again. Im never afraid to cull but usually with a valid reason. All advice appreciated - i will spare you all the pictures.
